Fears of an escalating conflict across the Middle East have led to significant travel disruptions, with numerous international airlines suspending or rerouting flights. Notable airlines, including Aegean, airBaltic, and Air France-KLM, are among those curtailing services to conflict-prone areas.

In response to rising tensions, airlines like airBaltic have halted trips to Tel Aviv through the end of the year, while others such as Emirates and Ethiopian Airlines have suspended operations to Beirut until the situation stabilizes. Affected destinations predominantly include Tel Aviv, Beirut, and regional areas of Iraq and Iran.

These decisions underscore the precarious travel conditions currently facing air passengers in the Middle East. As airlines prioritize safety, travelers are advised to stay informed about flight statuses and potential changes to travel plans until the unrest subsides.
