Global Aviation Disrupted as Middle East Tensions Escalate
Airlines worldwide are facing significant disruptions as the Israel-Iran conflict intensifies, leading to widespread flight cancellations and diversions. Multiple international carriers, including British Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Air India, have suspended routes to the Middle East, particularly affecting major hubs like Dubai and Doha. The closure of airspace over Kuwait, Iraq, UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar in response to Iranian attacks on a U.S. military base has compounded the chaos. As U.S. strikes on Iran continue, airlines are grappling with the implications for travel safety and logistics, prompting global travel warnings and fears of an extended crisis affecting many destinations.
