Recent military confrontations between Israel and Iran have resulted in significant disruptions for international air travel across the Middle East. Many airlines have halted services to key regional destinations due to airspace closures and safety considerations, substantially affecting routes to cities such as Dubai, Tel Aviv, and Doha.

Airlines such as Latvia's airBaltic, Russia's Aeroflot, and U.S.-based Delta Air Lines have announced flight cancellations, citing ongoing security concerns as tensions continue to escalate following recent military actions targeting Iranian nuclear facilities.

The situation has caused a domino effect across the aviation industry, impacting travel itineraries and forcing carriers to reassess their operations in the region, including their use of specific airspaces. This development underscores the far-reaching implications of geopolitical conflicts on global travel and commercial connectivity.
