Airlines halt many Middle East flights after Israel hits Iran
Israel, Iran, Iraq, Jordan and Syria closed their airspaces after Israel hit military and nuclear facilities in Iran. Israel said Tehran launched drones in retaliation. Air India's New Delhi-Vienna and Mumbai-London flights were about to enter Iranian airspace when Israel launched its attack, forcing the planes to turn back to their origin, according to aircraft tracker Flight Aware. Its London-New Delhi flight had just entered Iranian airspace and was rerouted over Iraq before arriving in India one hour late, according to Flight Aware. Air India diverted or called back a total of 16 flights between India and London and cities in Canada and the United States "due to the emerging situation in Iran". Emirates, the Middle East's largest airline, cancelled flights to and from Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Iran after Israel launched the strikes. Qatar Airways, the country's national carrier and one of the Middle East's largest, said it had "temporarily cancelled flights to Iran and Iraq due to (the) current situation in the region". Air France said it was suspending its flights to and from Tel Aviv "until further notice" following the closure of Israeli airspace. "Air France is closely monitoring the situation in the Middle East in real time," a spokesman for the French airline told AFP, adding that "the safety of its customers and crews is its absolute priority". Russia's aviation authority Rosaviatsiya instructed Russian airlines not to fly "in the airspace of Israel, Jordan, Iraq and Iran" or use airports in Israel and Iran. It said the restrictions will stay in place until June 26 or until further notice. German airline group Lufthansa suspended flights to and from Tehran until July 31. It also extended the suspension of Tel Aviv flights for the same period. Swiss airline, which is owned by Lufthansa, suspended its Tel Aviv flights until October 25 while those to Beirut were suspended until the end of July. In the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi airport warned "flight disruptions are expected through today (Friday)" as a result of the Israeli strikes. Dubai's airport also announced flight delays and cancellations due to the closure of airspaces in Iran, Iraq and Syria.

Gildo Zegna on experiential retailing, storytelling and fashion's remaining El Dorado
Fashion, from mass produced to prestige, has gone through a pretty dire 12months. Though one gets little sense of that in Dubai, where Zegna staged an impressive show this week, right next to their busiest flagship on the planet. Publicly quoted in New York, though majority owned by the descendants of founder Ermenegildo Zegna, the brand's whole sense of storytelling seemed to dovetail precisely with the city state that is Dubai. Just as Dubai – bereft of oil or natural gas, unlike its neighbors such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar – had to reinvent itself as a financial hub and tourist destination. So too Ermenegildo Zegna and his descendants, developed one of the greatest fabric and manufacturing resources in fashion, even though most of their materials are sourced far from Italy. On Wednesday, Zegna presented its first-ever show outside of Italy inside the Dubai Opera, notably supported by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism. With several scores of editors flown in by Emirates, the world's biggest airline. Ads on plane screens advertising branded luxury skyscrapers as great investment opportunities – with buildings named after luxury marques like Bulgari, Bugatti and Mercedes Benz. Zegna's show took place between the ever bustling Dubai Mall, and Burj Al Khalifa, the world's tallest building where Giorgio Armani opened his first hotel over a decade ago. 'We opened in Dubai in the early 2000s. We were one of the first brands to believe in Dubai Mall. Now, more than 25 years later, our number one store is inside that mall. We have been pioneers. First, we did franchising, and then we took over. It cost me a fortune to buy that back! Now we have a joint venture with Al Tayer, though we have the majority. We are very happy with the arrangement. And we manage the business, but they support us,' explained Gildo Zegna, CEO and grandson of founder Ermenegildo Zegna. See catwalk Zegna now boasts four doors in Dubai; two in Saudi, – in Jeddah and Riyadh – with another three opening. Plus stores in Qatar, Doha and Bahrein. 'We are quite well established with some 15 doors, and opening another five,' notes Gildo. While in Dubai, the north Italian brand also unveiled its latest Villa Zegna, part uber luxe pop-up with unique products, part installation explaining the marque's history, and the foundation of Oasi Zegna. A 100-square-kilometer mountain in the lower Alps, Ermenegildo acquired in 1910, where the family then planted with 500,000 trees. 'This is a very big week for us. It's about sharing visions,' said Gildo's son Edoardo, the brand's CMDSO, at a greeting dinner on shores of the Gulf in the Four Seasons Jumeirah Hotel. 'The vision of the family I am part of. The vision that my great grandfather had with Oasi. And the vision of Dubai, to have built such a unique place. In many ways, the capital of the world.' Added Issam Kazim, CEO of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing: 'I was fascinated listening to how Oasi Zegna started, and their story telling and vision. And the way a brand can punch above your weight. And we wanted to promote that, so the whole world sees what Dubai is – like Zegna - an entrepreneurial vision!' Today, Kazim noted, 90% of Dubai's population is foreign, and that number continues to grow. Another reason the state was so keen to support Zegna staging here this week. Edoardo's younger brother Angelo is head or EMEA, in a more organizational role, handling sales, retail and the new client experience, essential for a modern retailer. 'Here we have 150 VICS here this week, who we take through a unique personalized experienced seeing product that you cannot see in any store. You have to remember this is an incredible international hub. We are talking about 30 different nationalities purchasing in Zegna stores in Dubai, every day!' enthused Gildo. Tourism is an essential key to the economy of the Emirates. There are 200 different nationalities living in Dubai. And over 100 million visitors to this country every year, noted Gildo. See catwalk 'That's more than New York, more than London, more than Paris. It makes you realize that this is the new center of the world. And understand why you are here,' he underlined. Driving the brand's success is designer Alessandro Sartori 's aesthetic – deconstructed tailoring, lighter fabrics and a more relaxed look work. Ideal for this region, with its intense climate. 'Yes, Ale's style and aesthetic does suit this region. But that is also true about the southern parts of the United States, or Southeast Asia. The world, whether we like it or not, is getting warmer, and I think that his 'seasonless' fashion works extremely well. We have linen in winter, and cashmere in summer and we sell both across the year. Traceable materials that are all extremely lightweight. They are conceived for these countries in particular in colors that would be hard to sell in Europe," continued Gildo. Bucking a global trend, Gildo remains very much a believer his retail business. A policy, which has been bearing fruit. Despite the high fashion downturn internationally, the Ermenegildo Zegna Group – which also includes Tom Ford and Thom Browne – scored profits of €184 million, earned on a 2% rise in revenues to €1.945 billion in 2025, where Zegna accounts for 69% of revenues, and 85% of profits. 'We are 85/15 retail to e-commerce right now and we have turned most of our wholesales business into a concession model - starting in the United States. So, we control our business, whether we are in Selfridges, Harrods, Rinascente, Bergdorf, Saks or Nordstrom. There is a Zegna boutique controlled by us. We buy the merchandise and we design and run each store. So, we have a direct rapport with the customer. That is vital as the customer is very fluid. Here today and gone tomorrow to another brand. So, one has to offer you impeccable service, which we try very hard to achieve," the CEO concluded.

Why airlines are less likely to lose your luggage this summer
The number of bags airlines lost dropped last year, thanks to tech innovations being used by the aviation industry, a new report has found. A record 5.3 billion passengers took flights in 2024. These numbers come with logistical challenges, not least the pressure on baggage handling systems. But there's good news for travellers on that front. A new report from aviation technology company SITA shows that baggage handling is not just keeping pace but is steadily improving. Even with passenger numbers up by 8.2 per cent, the rate of luggage mishandling dropped to 6.3 per 1,000 passengers in 2024, down from 6.9 the year before. That's an 8.7 per cent improvement from 2023, and a 67 per cent drop since 2007. Experts say automation and data are doing the heavy lifting, from self-service bag drops to real-time tracking. According to the report, 33.4 million bags were mishandled in 2024. The group describes this as 'a clear signal that while progress is real, the work is far from done.' The financial impact remains substantial, however. Mishandled baggage still costs airlines an average of $5 billion (€4.3 billion) each year. 'Technology has made a difference, but unlocking the next leap in performance will require better data sharing and seamless coordination across the industry,' SITA says. The report found that automation and real-time data are the key to unlocking faster, more accurate baggage operations. Travellers are now more likely to find technology handling their bags at airports from the get-go. Touchless, self-service bag drops and tracking via electronic tags, the Internet of Things, and GPS are becoming widespread. Today, 42 per cent of passengers use real-time baggage tracking. By 2027, that number is expected to nearly double to 82 per cent. One of the most notable innovations in 2024 was the integration of Apple's Share Item Location feature with SITA's lost or delayed baggage tracking system, allowing passengers to share their AirTag location directly with airlines. British Airways, Lufthansa, Qantas, Cathay Pacific, and Virgin Atlantic were among the early adopters. Another milestone was the introduction of new industry standards for messaging about baggage, which are designed to reduce mishandling by a further five per cent by shifting the focus from simply reporting issues to predicting and preventing them. Regionally, performance is improving across the board. North America's mishandling rate improved by 4.5 per cent with 5.5 per cent of bags lost per 1,000 passengers, better than pre-2019 levels. Europe reduced its rate to 12.3 (from 15.7 in 2022), while Asia-Pacific maintained its global lead with just 3.1 mishandled bags per 1,000 passengers. That still means, however, that you are more than twice as likely to face problems in Europe than in other parts of the world. Another result of this technological advance is that of the 33.4 million mishandled bags, 66 per cent were resolved within 48 hours. While you may be more likely to face problems in the first place, Europe led the way by returning 4.4 million bags within 48 hours. The Americas followed with 3.2 million, while Asia-Pacific and the Middle East and Africa each resolved over a million within the same time frame. According to SITA, continued improvement will require systems that connect every player - airlines, airports, ground handlers, and passengers - through intelligent, real-time data flows. 'With passenger expectations rising, baggage can no longer be treated as a back-end logistics function,' the report states. 'It's a critical part of the journey, expected to work as intuitively and reliably as a rideshare or delivery app.'
