Airlines Extend Flight Suspensions Amid Regional Conflict
Major international carriers including Lufthansa, Delta, and Air France-KLM have extended flight cancellations to destinations across the Middle East due to ongoing regional instability. While some airlines plan to resume limited services to Tel Aviv and Dubai in June, many routes remain suspended through the autumn as operators prioritize safety and reroute long-haul flights.
Global airlines are overhauling flight schedules through late 2026 as conflict between Iran and Israel forces mass cancellations and rerouting. Carriers are shifting capacity toward European and Asian hubs to bypass high-risk airspace in the Middle East. For investors, these disruptions signal prolonged pressure on operational costs and volatile passenger yields across the international aviation sector.
### Carriers Exit High-Risk Hubs AEGEAN AIRLINES from Greece has cancelled flights to Baghdad and Erbil in Iraq until July 2. The airline also suspended its Dubai service in the United Arab Emirates through August 31. Flights from Thessaloniki to Tel Aviv are cancelled until June 26.
