Airlines Reel from Middle East Tensions: Flight Cancellations Surge

Air services in the Middle East remain in turmoil following the 12-day air conflict between Iran and Israel, despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire that took effect Tuesday.

The ongoing closure of airspace and heightened safety concerns are severely impacting airline traffic in the region, with numerous carriers cancelling flights.

Among the affected airlines are Aegean, Air Canada, and Lufthansa, which have all suspended their flights to major cities including Tel Aviv, Beirut, and Dubai, as travel remains precarious.
