Dubai-based airline Emirates announced on Thursday that it has suspended flights to Iraq, Iran, and Jordan for three days in response to growing regional tensions, following a missile strike on Israel that has raised fears of a broader conflict.
“Due to regional unrest, Emirates has cancelled all flights to and from Iraq (Basra and Baghdad), Iran (Tehran), and Jordan (Amman) on the 4th and 5th of October,” the airline stated, adding that services to these destinations had already been halted earlier on Thursday.
The decision reflects heightened concerns about safety in the region, with the airline closely monitoring the situation as events continue to unfold.
