Airlines halt many Middle East flights after Israel hits Iran - Region
Global airlines cancelled flights to Tel Aviv, Tehran and other Middle East destinations, or rerouted planes, on Friday as airspaces shut following Israeli strikes on 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, said it had 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." German airline group Lufthansa said it would suspend 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 will be 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 to the closure of airspaces in Iran, Iraq and Syria. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Netherlands Suspends All Flights to Israel Until July
Israa Farhan Dutch airline KLM has suspended all flights to Tel Aviv until at least July 1, following a surge in regional instability triggered by intensified Israeli airstrikes on Iran. The move, reported by the Dutch News Agency on Friday, comes after Israel launched what it described as a preemptive strike targeting Iranian military and nuclear sites. The attack reportedly resulted in the deaths of several senior Iranian military officials, including Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Hossein Salami and Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri. Iran has vowed a forceful response, significantly heightening security concerns across the region. KLM's suspension highlights growing anxiety in the international aviation sector, with commercial airlines reassessing safety conditions over Middle Eastern airspace. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
