Airlines Adjust Routes Amid Heightened Tensions in Region

Flights across the Middle East were rerouted on February 28, 2026, following explosions reported in Tehran and other Iranian cities. The US had launched ‘major combat operations’ against Iranian missile capabilities, while Israel declared a nationwide emergency posture. Iran’s civil aviation authorities announced a full airspace closure until further notice. This development may signal a growing concern about regional security and the potential for conflict between major powers.
