Lufthansa suspends its flights to and from Tel Aviv in Israel until Monday, as well as its flights to Amman in Jordan, and Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan, a spokesman says.
Following Iran’s unprecedented attack on Israel late Saturday, the German airline is “constantly monitoring the situation in the Middle East,” a spokesman tells AFP.
Flights to and from Beirut and Tehran will remain suspended until at least April 18, after the company said Friday its planes would no longer use Iranian airspace.
Lufthansa flights to the Iranian capital have been suspended since April 6.
Israel announced the reopening of its airspace on Sunday morning, along with its neighbors Jordan and Lebanon, and Iraq, which borders Iran.
