The sudden attack by the USA and Israel on Iran has affected civil aviation in the region. Many planes that were in the air during the attack changed their routes for security reasons. Iranian airspace was completely cleared, and civil flights were diverted away from Iran.
FLIGHTS FROM TURKEY TO IRAN DELAYED
Some flights from Turkey to Iran were canceled, while civil aircraft that moved away from Iranian airspace were redirected to alternative routes. This situation reportedly increased flight density, especially in Egypt and neighboring countries.
3 COUNTRIES CLOSED THEIR AIRSPACE
The Israeli Ministry of Transportation announced in the morning that the airspace was closed until further notice. This decision was made for the safety of civil flights in the region. While the attacks continue, both Iran and Iraq also closed their airspace to flights.
MEASURES INCREASED
As part of the measures taken in the airspace after the attack, planes are being directed to safe routes, while there are intensities and delays in air traffic. Authorities continue to inform flight operators about the developments.
LEFT WITHOUT READING THE NEWS
While chaos was experienced in the air, a radar image shared on social media showing a plane entering Iranian airspace was widely discussed. Some users commented, "SVR737 left without reading the news," while others said, "The SVR737 flight seems to be acting as if 'Life is lived only once!'"
