Fear of the expansion of the conflict in the region in light of the new aggression launched by Israel on Lebanon has prompted international airlines to suspend their flights to the region or avoid the airspace affected by this aggression. The Civil Aviation Authority in Jordan announced the suspension of flights to the Lebanese capital Beirut "until further notice", in light of the increasing regional tensions in the region. The Authority said in a statement last night that it "has taken a decision to suspend the operation of Jordanian airlines' flights to Beirut until further notice." It explained that this decision comes "in order to preserve the safety and security of civil aviation in light of the increasing regional tensions in the region, and after assessing the risks according to the standards for civil aviation safety followed globally and locally." Air Algérie suspended its flights to and from Lebanon until further notice, while Air France said on September 17 that it had suspended its flights to Beirut and Tel Aviv until September 19. Flight status information on its website on September 23 showed that Beirut flights were canceled until Tuesday. KLM has cancelled flights to and from Tel Aviv until October 26, while the low-cost airline Transavia unit of the Franco-Dutch group has cancelled flights to and from Tel Aviv until March 31, 2025, and flights to Amman and Beirut until November 3. Air India, Cathay Pacific, Delta Air Lines, EasyJet, IAG, Ryanair, Lufthansa Group, Lot, Zonder Air, SunExpress and United Airlines have also suspended flights to and from Israel or Lebanon on various dates. Since Monday morning, the Israeli occupation army has been launching raids on southern and eastern Lebanon that are the 'most violent, extensive and intensive' since October 8, announcing that it has attacked more than 150 targets in Lebanon using dozens of fighter jets. Since October 8, Lebanese and Palestinian factions in Lebanon, most notably Hezbollah, have been exchanging daily shelling with the occupat ion army across the "Blue Line" separating them, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries, most of them on the Lebanese side. These factions are demanding an end to the war that Israel has been waging with American support on the Gaza Strip since October 7, which has left more than 137,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and a deadly famine.
