Over 6 mln air travel trips affected by the Middle East conflicts

Since the US and Israel launched military operations against Iran, over 52,000 flights in and out of the Middle East have been canceled, affecting more than 6 million passenger trips, according to aviation analytics firm Cirium.

Flight cancellations peaked at over 65% between March 1 and 3 and remained high at 46.5% by March 12. Experts say even a ceasefire would not immediately restore normal flight operations, as airlines need time to redeploy aircraft and crews, rebuild schedules, and secure safety clearances.
