US EditionAirlines keep avoiding Middle East airspace after US attack on Iran
- On June 13, Israel launched strikes on Iran, prompting widespread flight suspensions and airspace restrictions in the Middle East.
- The strikes led airlines including American Airlines, United Airlines, British Airways, and Singapore Airlines to cancel or suspend flights over the region due to heightened risks.
- Israel's principal international airport, located close to Tel Aviv, was shut down but briefly reopened for a six-hour window on Sunday to facilitate rescue flights, helping tens of thousands of Israelis stranded overseas return home.
- Japan evacuated 21 people, including 16 nationals, overland from Iran, while New Zealand prepared a Hercules military transport plane on standby to evacuate its citizens.
- The sustained conflict, ongoing missile exchanges, and airspace avoidance are increasing operational risks and costs, prompting governments and airlines to coordinate evacuation and safety measures.
