Travel Chaos as U.S. and Israel Launch Airstrikes on Iran

The recent U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran have resulted in significant disruptions to air travel across the Middle East and beyond. Major airports in the Gulf have sustained damage, leading to the cancellation of thousands of flights and severe congestion as airspaces close. Over 19,000 flights have been delayed or suspended, stranding hundreds of thousands of travelers. Airlines, including Delta and Lufthansa, have halted flights to and from the region, while travelers in places like Dubai, Hong Kong, and Doha face uncertainty and chaos at airports.
