Concerns over a potential conflict in the Middle East have led several international airlines to suspend their flights to the region or to avoid the affected air space. Airlines such as Air Algerie, Air France-KLM, and Delta Air Lines have taken precautionary measures, suspending flights to various Middle Eastern destinations until further notice.

Amid escalating concerns of a wider conflict in the Middle East, several international airlines have announced the suspension of their flights to the region or the avoidance of affected airspace.

Numerous airlines, including Air Algerie, Air Arabia, and Delta Air Lines, have adjusted their schedules. Air Algerie has halted flights to and from Lebanon indefinitely, while Air France-KLM extended its suspension of flights to Beirut and Tel Aviv, with KLM cancelling flights to and from Tel Aviv until October 26. India's Air India and Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific have also suspended scheduled flights to Tel Aviv.

Other major airlines such as Lufthansa Group, Emirates, and United Airlines have followed suit, suspending various routes through the Middle East due to security uncertainties. In addition, the UK has advised airlines to avoid Lebanese airspace until November 4, citing potential risks from military activities in the region.
