Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq have reopened their airspaces after closing them over Iran’s drone and missile attacks on Israel. The reopening of airspaces came after the Iranian attacks on Israel, which was the first direct attack on Israeli territory. Lebanon has announced that its airport will resume its activities after the overnight closure, while Iraq’s aviation authority said that security risks have now been overcome. Jordan had readied air defenses to intercept any drones or missiles that violated its territory and intercepted some flying objects that entered its airspace last night to ensure the safety of citizens.
Meanwhile, Israel has also reopened its airspace, and flag carrier El Al has resumed operations while working to stabilize the flight schedule as soon as possible. Emirates and Etihad Airways have canceled flights, and Swiss International Air Lines has suspended flights to and from Tel Aviv until further notice. Lufthansa has suspended flights to Amman, Beirut, Erbil, and Tel Aviv at least until Monday after the latest turmoil in the Middle East. Austrian Airlines has announced that it is suspending flights to Tehran until April 18.
The attacks come amid the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza, which shows no sign of easing despite numerous mediation efforts. Reaction to Iran’s strikes has been swift, with many countries describing the attacks as a serious escalation, with potentially widespread consequences for the region. The reopening of airspaces by Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq after the attacks highlights the importance of regional stability and security, as well as the need for shared responsibility among nations to maintain peace.
