The escalating conflict between Israel and Iran has crippled air travel across the Middle East, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. Israel’s unprecedented airstrike on Iran’s nuclear sites triggered massive retaliation, causing widespread airspace closures. Major airports like Ben Gurion have shut down, and flights are being rerouted or canceled. Travelers from multiple countries are stuck without transport. Experts warn the crisis may severely impact the global aviation industry. Ground routes via Turkey remain limited and unsafe, while uncertainty grows over the region’s stability.
