International airlines are canceling flights one after another due to the growing conflict and security risks in the Middle East.

Amid ongoing tensions involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, many flights between Europe and Asia are now avoiding Middle Eastern airspace.

According to Reuters, several major airlines have temporarily suspended or limited flights to destinations including Dubai, Baghdad, Erbil, Tel Aviv, Beirut, Doha, Riyadh, and Abu Dhabi.

Greece’s Aegean Airlines has canceled its Dubai flights until the end of August. Turkey’s Pegasus Airlines has also suspended flights to Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, and Abu Dhabi.

In addition, Lufthansa, Air France, KLM, Japan Airlines, Singapore Airlines, and British Airways have reduced flights on several routes.

Analysts say international airlines are taking precautionary measures due to growing concerns over airspace security.

As a result, passengers traveling to the Middle East are facing increased difficulties, while global air travel is also being significantly affected.
