25 June 2025 – Travel plans are taking a hit as tensions rise between Israel and Iran. Several major airports in the Middle East, including Doha and Dubai, faced temporary shutdowns, causing delays and cancellations for travelers worldwide.
Airlines like Air India and Japan Airlines have already cancelled flights, especially those passing through the region. Some airspaces, including Qatar’s, were briefly closed due to safety concerns after recent missile strikes.
This disruption has affected thousands of passengers and major transit routes connecting Europe, Asia, and Australia.
What Travelers Should Know:
- Stay informed: Check with your airline before departure. Expect delays or sudden changes to flight plans.
- Alternate routes: Be prepared to fly via alternative hubs or transit through Europe or East Asia.
- Flexible booking: Ensure your travel insurance covers cancellations and delays, and opt for tickets with flexible rebooking policies.
If you’re traveling soon:
- Double-check your flight status
- Expect delays or reroutes
- Stay updated with airline alerts
The situation remains volatile as both sides continue military maneuvers. Any further escalation could prolong airspace restrictions, adding additional pressure on global travel networks.
