Thousands of Middle East flights are being suspended by airlines following attacks in Iran.
These cancellations affect destinations like Tel Aviv, Doha and Dubai as airspace has been closed.
Estimates suggest at least 14,000 departures and arrivals are impacted.
Etihad Airways has suspended all flights departing or arriving in Abu Dhabi until Sunday. The airline will contact affected passengers directly and provide support with rebooking and hotel accommodation where needed.
Etihad emphasises the fluid nature of the situation and that further adjustments may be necessary. They maintain close coordination with authorities and will resume normal operations as conditions improve. Safety remains their top priority and they apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Other airlines like Qatar Airways, Emirates Airlines, Air India, Lufthansa Group, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines and American Airlines have also suspended or significantly reduced their services in the region. The duration of these suspensions varies between the carriers.
Lufthansa Group has suspended flights to Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Tehran until March 7. Delta’s Tel Aviv service will be cancelled through at least Sunday.
Due to security concerns, some flights to Doha and Dubai have been rerouted back to their origin airports or diverted to European airports.
