In response to heightened regional tensions, AJet, a subsidiary of Turkish Airlines, has announced the suspension of flights to Iran, Iraq, and Jordan. The cancellation will last until Monday morning, according to an AJet source.

The source articulated that while the airline will continue flights to Lebanon, it will do so only during daylight hours, ensuring passenger safety. Moreover, AJet is planning to route flights elsewhere in the Middle East so as to bypass the affected airspace over Iraq.

This strategic decision follows Israel's recent attack on Iran, adding to the complexity of navigation in an already volatile region.
