Due to the continuing uncertain situation in the Middle East, the Lufthansa Group has canceled further flights to the crisis region. All flights to and from Tel Aviv, Tehran, Beirut, Amman and Erbil have been suspended up to and including Monday (August 26).
This was announced by the company in Frankfurt. Until then, the Group's companies will also not use the airspace over Iraq and Iran. The previous flight ban had a duration up to and including Wednesday (August 21).
The background to this is the tensions between Israel and Iran, which give rise to fears of war in the region - far beyond the Gaza Strip. Lufthansa is offering travelers with tickets up to and including 31 August free cancellations. The flight ban applies to all of the Group's airlines and to cargo and passenger aircraft alike. In addition to the core airline, the Lufthansa Group also includes Swiss, Austrian, Brussels Airlines and Eurowings.
