Flights to the Middle East Suspended - Map Shows Aircraft Diverting

Major airlines, including British Airways, Lufthansa, and Wizz Air, have announced the suspension of their flights to the Middle East following attacks launched by the US and Iran. Flight maps show the airspace over Iran almost empty as Israel announced it had struck Tehran. Several flights changed course or made circles before returning. Russian airlines have also suspended flights to Iran and Israel. The situation is being closely monitored and airlines are adjusting their schedules accordingly.
