Which airlines paused or cancelled flights after Israel's attack on Iran?
Several airlines have suspended or cancelled flights in the Middle East and some countries have shut their airspace after Israel launched a wave of air strikes on Iran. The Israeli attacks targeted military facilities, nuclear sites and residential areas, killing two senior military commanders and nuclear scientists. Here is a list of suspended and rerouted flights: Emirates, the Middle East's largest airline, said it had cancelled flights to and from Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Iran. Several flights scheduled for Friday and one Tehran flight on Saturday were listed as cancelled on the airline's website. 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'. El Al Airlines, an Israeli flag carrier, said it had suspended flights to and from Israel and was moving some of its planes out of the country. Israir, a budget Israeli carrier, said it was evacuating its planes from Tel Aviv airport, which it said was expected to remain closed through the weekend. Flydubai, or the Dubai Aviation Corporation, a budget carrier, said it had suspended flights to Amman, Beirut, Damascus, Iran and Israel and a number of other flights had been cancelled, rerouted or returned to their departure airports. Etihad Airways and Turkish Airlines diverted some flights to Baku, Azerbaijan, according to Heydar Aliyev International Airport. Lufthansa, the largest airline in Germany, has suspended all flights to and from Tehran. In a statement, the company added that it would also avoid 'Iranian, Iraqi and Israeli airspace for now'. Air India, a flag carrier of the subcontinent which overflies Iran for its Europe and North American flights, said several flights were being diverted or returned to their origin, including ones from New York, Vancouver, Chicago and London. Aeroflot, Russia's flagship airline, cancelled flights between Moscow and Tehran. In a statement, the airline said that flights to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha and the Maldives have been rerouted through Pakistani airspace. Some countries have also closed their airspace following the attacks. Iran's official news agency IRNA reported that aviation authorities have shut down the country's airspace until further notice. Early on Friday, Iraq closed its airspace and suspended all traffic at its airports, Iraqi state media reported. Eastern Iraq near the border with Iran contains one of the world's busiest air corridors, with dozens of flights crossing between Europe and the Gulf, many on routes from Asia to Europe, at any single moment. The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan's civil aviation authority has also said it 'temporarily' closed Jordanian airspace to all flights 'in anticipation of any dangers resulting from the escalation happening in the region'. Last year, some Iranian missiles that targeted Israeli military bases flew over Jordan, which sits between Israel and Iraq.

Airlines divert flights, airspace closed after Israel launches air strikes on Iran
Airlines cleared out of the airspace over Israel, Iran and Iraq and Jordan on Friday after Israel launched attacks on targets in Iran, Flightradar24 data showed, with carriers scrambling to divert and cancel flights to keep passengers and crew safe. Proliferating conflict zones around the world are becoming an increasing burden on airline operations and profitability, and more of a safety concern. Six commercial aircraft have been shot down unintentionally and three nearly missed since 2001, according to aviation risk consultancy Osprey Flight Solutions. 5 Firefighters worked outside of a building that was hit by an Israeli air strike north of Tehran. ABEDIN TAHERKENAREH/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock Israel on Friday said it targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders at the start of what it warned would be a prolonged operation to prevent Tehran from building an atomic weapon. Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport was closed until further notice, and Israel's air defense units stood at high alert for possible retaliatory strikes from Iran. Israeli flag carrier El Al Airlines said it had suspended flights to and from Israel. Iranian airspace has been closed until further notice, according to state media and notices to pilots. As reports of strikes on Iran emerged, a number of commercial flights by airlines including Dubai's Emirates, Lufthansa and Air India were flying over Iran. Air India, which overflies Iran for its Europe and North American flights, said several flights were being diverted or returned to their origin, including ones from New York, Vancouver, Chicago and London. Emirates and Lufthansa did not immediately respond to requests for comment. 5 Residents reacted to damaged residential buildings in Iran's Nobonyad Square following Israeli airstrikes. Majid Saeedi Iraq early on Friday closed its airspace and suspended all traffic at its airports, Iraqi state media reported. Eastern Iraq near the border with Iran contains one of the world's busiest air corridors, with dozens of flights crossing between Europe and the Gulf, many on routes from Asia to Europe, at any one moment. Flights steadily diverted over Central Asia or Saudi Arabia, flight tracking data showed. Jordan, which sits between Israel and Iraq, closed its airspace several hours after the Israeli campaign began. 5 This image grab taken from UGC footage broadcast by Iran TV on June 13, 2025 shows smoke billowing from explosions after Israel announced it had carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites.

SEPAH NEWS/AFP via Getty Images 'The situation is still emerging – operators should use a high degree of caution in the region at this time,' according to Safe Airspace, a website run by OPSGROUP, a membership-based organization that shares flight risk information. Several flights due to land in Dubai were diverted early on Friday. An Emirates flight from Manchester to Dubai was diverted to Istanbul and a flydubai flight from Belgrade diverted to Yerevan, Armenia. Budget carrier flydubai said it had suspended flights to Amman, Beirut, Damascus, Iran and Israel and a number of other flights had been canceled, rerouted or returned to their departure airports. 5 A building in Iran's Nobonyad Square is shown having suffered significant damage from Israeli airstrikes. Majid Saeedi Qatar Airways canceled its two scheduled flights to Damascus on Friday, Flightradar24 data shows. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Middle East since October 2023 led to commercial aviation sharing the skies with short-notice barrages of drones and missiles across major flight paths – some of which were reportedly close enough to be seen by pilots and passengers. Airspace in the Middle East last year was crossed daily by 1,400 flights to and from Europe, Eurocontrol data show. Last year, planes were shot down by weaponry in Kazakhstan and in Sudan. These incidents followed the high-profile downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine in 2014 and of Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 en route from Tehran in 2020.
