"Several international airlines have temporarily suspended or adjusted flights to parts of the Middle East amid rising geopolitical risk and updated airspace safety guidance. The move follows reports of a large US naval deployment moving towards the Gulf and intensifying rhetoric between the US and Iran. The changes are affecting routes to Israel, parts of the GCC, and Jordan, with airlines stressing that the measures are precautionary and subject to constant operational review."
"Dutch carrier KLM has halted all routes to Tel Aviv, Dubai, Dammam, and Riyadh until further notice, while completely avoiding the airspace of Iran, Iraq, and Israel. Lufthansa, Swiss International Air Lines, and Austrian Airlines have suspended overnight flights to Tel Aviv and Amman, restricting operations to daytime-only services to avoid crew layovers in the region. Lufthansa has also suspended all flights to Tehran until at least Saturday, March 28."
