Airlines Halt Middle East Flights Amid Growing Conflict Concerns

International airlines have suspended flights to the Middle East due to rising regional tensions. Major airlines like Air France, Delta, and Emirates are among those affected, canceling or rescheduling flights to destinations such as Tel Aviv and Beirut. The suspensions are expected to last through early 2025 for some carriers.

Airlines worldwide have taken a cautious approach by suspending flights to the Middle East, citing concerns about escalating tensions in the region. Leading carriers affected include Air France-KLM, Delta, and Emirates, reflecting the widespread impact on international travel.

Air France has extended the suspension of flights from Paris to Tel Aviv, and its low-cost unit Transavia has canceled trips to Tel Aviv, Amman, and Beirut until next March. Meanwhile, Delta Air Lines has paused flights between New York and Tel Aviv through March 2025, underlining the uncertainty facing travelers.

Other airlines such as Lufthansa, Emirates, and British Airways have implemented similar measures, with suspensions expected to last well into next year. As the situation in the Middle East remains volatile, airlines are prioritizing safety and reassessing operations consistently.
