Airlines cancel flights in the Middle East due to new regulations

Airlines across the Middle East continued to cancel flights on Sunday as airspace remained largely closed following U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that killed former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Major airports in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha faced significant restrictions, affecting carriers like Aegean Airlines, Air Astana, Air Canada, and Emirates, among others. Many airlines have suspended operations or canceled flights to and from key destinations until early March.
