Lufthansa, Aeroflot and Qatar Airways suspend regional flights

German airline Lufthansa on Friday announced it had suspended all flights to and from Tehran, citing the evolving security situation following Israeli strikes on Iranian territory.

“Lufthansa Group flights to and from Tehran will be suspended until further notice due to the current situation,” the company said in a statement, adding it would also avoid Iranian, Iraqi and Israeli airspace for overflights.

Russia’s Aeroflot also said it had canceled flights between Moscow and Tehran and made adjustments to other routes in the Middle East, while Qatar Airways announced the suspension of flights to and from both Iraq and Iran.
