Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, sparked by U.S. military actions against Iranian nuclear facilities, global airlines are suspending flights to key destinations. This precaution, driven by airspace closures and security worries, impacts travelers worldwide as routes to and from the region face cancellations and alterations.

Major airlines, including airBaltic, Aeroflot, and Air Europa, have already canceled flights to hubs such as Tel Aviv and Tehran. Concerns continue to grow, affecting air travel not only within the Middle East but also in nearby areas as airlines adapt to the evolving geopolitical landscape.
