Major airlines are adjusting flight schedules to the Middle East amidst ongoing diplomatic efforts to address conflicts involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran. While some routes are resuming, many remain suspended, affecting global travel. Various airlines have detailed their revised schedules, including postponements and cancellations across key destinations.

Amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, airlines are facing significant disruptions in their flight schedules. With continuous diplomatic efforts to resolve the ongoing crisis involving U.S. and Israeli actions on Iran, several carriers are cautiously restoring services to the region, while others have chosen to maintain suspensions.

Aegean Airlines, Greece's largest carrier, has chosen to cancel flights from Thessaloniki to Tel Aviv and postpones services to Dubai, Erbil, and Baghdad until later dates. Latvia's airBaltic, along with Air Canada and Air France-KLM, have also opted to suspend routes to Middle Eastern destinations amidst safety concerns.

Across the industry, air travel to destinations like Tel Aviv, Dubai, and Beirut remains notably impacted. European and Asian carriers, including Lufthansa Group and Singapore Airlines, are observing delays and plan gradual resumptions in alignment with diplomatic progress in the coming months.
