Israel-Iran war has officially begun: Flights halted, routes diverted through Saudi Arabia and Egypt

The Israel-Iran war has officially begun. It was the attacks launched by Israel that escalated tensions in the Middle East. While Israel stated that it carried out the attacks to prevent Iran from reaching nuclear power status, it also targeted high-level Iranian officials, and it was announced that some of them were killed.

4 COUNTRIES CLOSED THEIR AIRSPACE

Due to the airstrikes, Israel, Iraq, and Jordan decided to close their airspace for security reasons. On the Iranian side, Iranian airspace is not being used for flights due to the presence of Israeli elements in the air and the execution of attacks.

TRAVEL AND TRADE ROUTES HAVE CHANGED

According to the report on NTV, aviation leads not only passenger transport but also commercial transport.

Airlines departing from countries such as India, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, which operate flights to many parts of the world, have decided to change their routes due to the conflicts.

Planes that would normally fly over Iran or Iraq and head from Turkey to Europe or the USA are now flying north of Saudi Arabia, passing south of Jordan, crossing the northeast of Egypt, and using Turkish or Greek airspace before returning to their original routes to continue their journeys.
