Key airports in Tel Aviv, Tehran, Baghdad, and Damascus have either shut down or are operating under tight restrictions. Major carriers including Delta, Lufthansa, Emirates, and Air India have suspended routes, rerouted flights, or halted services to the region entirely.

Ben Gurion Airport in Israel has been one of the hardest hit, with Israel’s own airspace remaining closed for a second straight day. Delta Airlines announced it will not resume service to Israel until at least the end of August.
