Dubai-based airline Emirates has temporarily suspended flights to certain regions due to increasing tensions in the Middle East. The company stated that this decision was made in response to the escalating tensions in the region following Iran's missile attack on Israel.
An Emirates Airlines spokesperson said, "Due to regional unrest, we had to cancel all our flights to Iraq, Iran, and Jordan on October 4 and 5." It was noted that flights to Baghdad, Basra, Tehran, and Amman would be affected by this decision.
This precautionary measure stems from concerns about a potential conflict that could spread in the region following Iran's missile attack on Israel. The international community is urging the parties to exercise restraint to prevent the situation from worsening.
Meanwhile, Iran's Civil Aviation Organization recently announced that flights at the country's airports have returned to normal. Flights that were temporarily suspended after the attack on Tuesday have been resumed following the completion of security assessments.
Other airlines in the region have also reported that they may take similar measures, while passengers are encouraged to review their travel plans and stay in contact with airlines for updated information. International diplomatic efforts are intensively ongoing to reduce tensions in the region and prevent a potential conflict.
