The decision to suspend flights reflects broader concerns over regional instability and the potential impact on air travel
ISTANBUL: Turkish Airlines (THY) announced on Friday that it has postponed all flights to Iran due to escalating tensions in the region. The decision affects flights to several major cities in Iran, including Tehran, Shiraz, and Isfahan. The suspension is expected to be in place until early Saturday, with operations anticipated to resume thereafter, according to information from Anadolu Agency. The move comes amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran, which have heightened security concerns and affected regional travel.
Turkish Airlines has not specified the exact reasons behind the postponement but has indicated that it is taking precautionary measures in response to the current situation. The airline has advised passengers to stay informed about their flight status and any changes through official channels. The decision to suspend flights reflects broader concerns over regional instability and the potential impact on air travel. The Israeli-Iranian tensions have been a significant factor in the decision-making process, influencing travel and security protocols across the region.
Passengers who were scheduled to fly to Iran during this period are encouraged to check with Turkish Airlines for the latest updates and to make alternative travel arrangements if necessary. The airline is expected to provide further details on the resumption of flights as the situation evolves. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated Wednesday in the Iranian capital of Tehran. Hamas and Iran have blamed Israel for the killing but Tel Aviv has neither confirmed nor denied responsibility.
