Global airlines are suspending flights to the Middle East after the United States launched strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, escalating regional tensions. On Sunday, Singapore Airlines canceled flights from Singapore to Dubai, calling the situation “fluid” and citing heightened security concerns.
The airspace over Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Israel appeared largely empty on FlightRadar24, with airlines avoiding the region following increased missile and drone activity. Routes through the Middle East have grown in importance since European carriers began bypassing Russian and Ukrainian airspace due to the ongoing war.
Air France-KLM canceled flights to Dubai and Riyadh through Monday, while British Airways suspended flights to Dubai and Doha, stating it was still assessing the situation. U.S. carriers American Airlines and United Airlines had already halted flights to Qatar and Dubai in recent days.
Aviation risk-monitoring group Safe Airspace warned on Sunday that the U.S. military action significantly raises threats to American aircraft operating in the region. Airlines also face rising jet fuel costs as oil prices surge amid fears of broader conflict.
In response to the escalating crisis, Israel is increasing the number of emergency flights to and from the country. Its Airports Authority announced plans to run 24 “rescue flights” daily, each limited to 50 passengers. Israeli carrier El Al said it received around 25,000 requests from individuals seeking to leave the country within a single day.
With geopolitical risks soaring and oil prices climbing, airlines worldwide are carefully reassessing operations in the Middle East, bracing for prolonged disruptions and heightened costs.
