Air France and KLM halt flights to Middle East, including Dubai and Israel.

At least two European airlines, Air France and KLM, have suspended flights to cities in the Middle East due to the “current situation”, with Air France temporarily halting service to Dubai and KLM stopping flights to cities in Israel, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. The airlines are avoiding flying through the airspace of countries like Iraq and Iran. This decision comes as US President Donald Trump announces a “big force” of US warships, described as an “armada”, heading towards the Gulf region. Trump stated that the ships are being deployed as a precautionary measure in response to the ongoing tensions with Iran.
