Airlines Cancel Flights and Divert Routes as Israel-Iran Conflict Escalates

The latest set of cancellations come as airlines had started to resume flights to the region.

Airlines around the world are canceling flights to the Middle East after Israel attacked Iran Thursday.

Service to Israel has been sporadic for nearly two years as airlines have canceled flights to the country multiple times since the October 7, 2023 attacks. Some airlines have also been avoiding Iranian and Iraqi airspace in recent months due to fear of drone or missile strikes.
