Several major airlines, including Lufthansa, United Airlines, American Airlines, and Delta Airlines, have announced changes to their flight schedules in response to Iran’s recent assault on Israel with drones and missiles.
Lufthansa has suspended flights to Tel Aviv, Amman, Erbil, Beirut, and Tehran until at least Tuesday and Thursday, respectively, due to the escalating violence in the Middle East. The airline is closely monitoring the situation and remains in contact with authorities. Additionally, Lufthansa announced that it would not fly over Iranian airspace until flights to and from Tehran are resumed on April 18.
United Airlines also canceled a scheduled flight to Tel Aviv on Sunday and is continuing to monitor the situation to make decisions on upcoming flights, prioritizing the safety of passengers and crew members. However, both American and Delta Airlines have not yet provided any updates or responses regarding future flights to the Middle East.
The recent assault by Iran on Israel marks the first time Iran has launched a full-scale offensive against Israel, despite the long-standing hostilities between the two nations that have spanned over 40 years.
As tensions in the Middle East continue to rise, airline companies are taking precautionary measures to ensure the safety of their passengers and crew. Travelers are advised to stay updated on any changes to flight schedules and to contact their airline for further information.
