As fears intensify after Israeli airstrikes intensified against Iranian targets and the US bombed Iran's nuclear installations, global airlines have canceled or redirected flights to some of the most important Middle Eastern destinations. The airlines have done so amidst heightened airspace restrictions and increasing passengers' and crew's safety concerns. Some carriers have canceled flights or shut down bookings for routes traversing or arriving in countries such as Israel, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Gulf hubs Dubai and Doha.

Some of the worst-hit destinations are Tel Aviv and Tehran, which are now both considered high-risk airspaces. Dubai, Doha, Amman, and Beirut have also had several flight cancellations or short-term suspensions. Air France-KLM, Lufthansa, Qatar Airways, Emirates, United Airlines, British Airways, and Ryanair are among scores of airlines that have suspended operations, posted travel warnings, or diverted flights to steer clear of flying over conflict areas. “The safety of our passengers and crew is our top priority,” said a Lufthansa Group spokesperson, confirming suspension of flights to Tel Aviv, Tehran, and Beirut until at least July 31, with Amman and Erbil routes suspended until July 11.
