Turkish Airlines suspends flights to 10 Middle East countries after US, Israeli strikes on Iran

Saturday, 28 February 2026

 Turkish Airlines suspended flights to 10 countries in the Middle East on Saturday after Israel and the United States launched strikes on Iran, prompting multiple countries in the region to close their airspace.

“Flights to Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Jordan have been cancelled until March 2,” Turkish Airlines spokesman Yahya Üstün wrote on X. Flights to Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Oman were suspended for the day.

The carrier did not say when operations would return to normal for all destinations. Airlines often suspend routes during regional crises because of airspace restrictions and safety concerns.

Turkish Airlines urged passengers to follow its announcements for updates as schedules can change quickly during disruptions.
