US Edition2 US Airlines Pause Flights to the Middle East
- United Airlines and American Airlines have halted flights to key Middle Eastern cities in June 2025 in response to rising tensions and military actions between Israel and Iran.
- The suspension followed Israel's June 13 missile strikes against Iran, retaliatory missile launches from Iran, and intensified regional instability.
- Major hubs like Dubai and Doha are affected, with airspace closures over Israel, Jordan, Iran, and Iraq causing flight rerouting, higher fuel costs, and logistical challenges.
- The suspensions will last at least through June 22, with United Airlines pausing Newark-Dubai flights indefinitely, and American Airlines halting Philadelphia-Doha service until that date.
- These actions reflect airlines' effort to maintain safety amid unpredictable conflict, though warnings have reduced passenger confidence, risking declines in bookings and profitability.
