- Airlines are avoiding Iran ian and Lebanese airspace and cancelling flights to Israel and Lebanon , as concerns grow over a possible conflict in the region after the killing of senior members of militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah this week.
In a bulletin, OPSGROUP, a membership-based organisation that shares flight risk information, advised traffic between Asia and Europe to avoid Iranian and Iraqi airspace, a day after sources told Reuters that top Iranian officials will meet the representatives of Iran's regional allies from Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen to discuss potential retaliation against Israel.
However, a significant number of airlines on Friday were still flying over Iran, including United Arab Emirates carriers Etihad, Emirates and FlyDubai, as well as Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines.
