As tensions rise in the Middle East, international airlines are taking preventive measures by suspending or redirecting flights to the region. This decision reflects concerns over a potential conflict that could endanger passenger safety.

Global carriers have adjusted their schedules, including Air France-KLM which cut its Paris to Tel Aviv service until October 15, and Lufthansa that will not operate flights to Tel Aviv until October 31. Routes over Israeli, Iraqi, and Iranian airspace face significant disruptions.

British Airways, part of the IAG group, has halted its operations to Tel Aviv until late October, while Qatar Airways has taken a cautious approach by restricting flights to Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran. Travelers are urged to stay informed about these changes as airlines evaluate the situation continuously.
