Airlines are cautiously restoring a portion of services to the Middle East while the wider disruption from the ongoing conflict remains significant. Regional carriers have begun to add capacity after severe, war-related interruptions linked to the Iran war, but many international operators are still rerouting or suspending Europe-Asia services to avoid the region.
