With increasing tension in the Middle East after American impacts in Iranian nuclear places in the middle of the Israel-Iran conflict, several international airlines canceled flights or overwhelmed flights in the region, especially in the main places like Dubai, Doha.
The airspace from Iran and Iraq, the region with significant air traffic, remained empty almost 10 days after Israel started air strikes in Iran. Several flights were canceled, overwhelmed or diverted to closure of airspace and safety problems.
In particular, some airlines plan to restore this year’s operations on Monday.
Asian carrier Singapore Airlines called the situation “fluid” and planned to restart flights to Dubai, the busiest international airport in the world, and on Monday after canceling his flight from Singapore on Sunday, Reuters reported.
British Airways plans to restart flights to Dubai and Doha on Monday after cancellation on Sunday, the report said Flightradar24.
Meanwhile, Air France KLM on Sunday and Monday canceled flights to AZ Dubai and Riyadh.
American airlines suspended flights to Qatar, while United Airlines and Air Canada canceled flights to Dubai days before the US struck. Flight services have not yet been restored.
Given that international airlines must fully restore flight operations in the Middle East, local carriers in Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq will restart some flights after extensive abolitions.
Since the outbreak of Israeli and Iran, there have been more than 3,000 flight cancellations in the Middle East in the Middle East, according to Flightradar24.
Why is the airspace in the Middle East important?
The Middle East has become an essential way for years between Europe and Asia, because Russian and Ukrainian air space remained closed for most airlines due to war.
With continuous strikes in the last 10 days, airlines have been redirected through the Caspian Sea or south of Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
Aerial industry
Another problem for airlines was rising fuel and crew costs due to these long routes and abolition, in addition to increasing the cost of jet fuel, as oil prices are increasing on US strikes.
The US attack on Iran can also increase the risks for US operators in the region, reporting in a report that quotes safe air space, an organization that shares information about flight risks. This can cause concern in the Gulf countries such as Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, he said.
