Amid US-Iran War, Flight Cancellations To The Middle East Exceeded 23,000 And Nearly $1 Billion In Lost Revenue

The ongoing U.S.-Iran war has resulted in over 23,000 flight cancellations to the Middle East since February 28, leading to nearly $1 billion in lost revenue for airlines, particularly Gulf carriers like Fly Emirates and Qatar Airways. U.S. airlines, including Delta, United, and American Airlines, have also suspended flights to affected regions. Despite the disruptions, Etihad Airways announced the resumption of limited flights to key U.S. destinations as of March 6.
