The global aviation industry remains severely disrupted following Iran\u2019s retaliatory attack <\/strong>last Saturday which saw over <\/strong>300 missiles and drones launched at Israel<\/strong>, Reuters<\/a> reports. Closures of airspaces limited air traffic between Asia and Europe to two viable alternative routes through Turkey or Egypt, leading to a dozen airlines canceling or diverting flights over the past two days. This was the biggest single disruption to air travel since the 2001 World Trade Centre attack, OPSGROUP founder Mark Zee told the newswire, and disruptions will likely continue until later this week. <\/p>\n

A quick recap: <\/strong>Iran\u2019s attack came in response to an Israeli strike on Iran\u2019s consulate in Damascus on 1 April<\/a> which claimed the lives of seven officers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Israel and the US have intercepted 99% of the missiles and drones, with only slight damage to an air base in Nevatim, AP<\/a> reports, citing US and Israeli military sources. Iran had reportedly informed neighboring states of its intention to attack Israel 72 hours prior to the operation, Mehr<\/a> reports, citing statements by Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.<\/p>\n

Major disruptions ensued:<\/strong> Jordan, Lebanon<\/a>, and Iraq<\/a> temporarily closed their airspace during the Iranian attack, while Iran and Israel also imposed temporary restrictions to airline\u2019s overflying their territory, Bloomberg<\/a> reports. Israel, Lebanon, and Iraq reopened access to their airspace later in the day and Jordan<\/a> also restored flights. Meanwhile, flight cancellations at Tehran Mehrabad International Airport were extended to earlier<\/a> this morning.<\/p>\n

Things appear to be back on track: <\/strong>Major MENA airlines including Emirates Airlines, Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways said they would be resuming operations in the region yesterday after canceling or rerouting some flights, Reuters reports. EgyptAir also said it would resume<\/a> flights to Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon, after suspending the routes yesterday.<\/p>\n

Can the region breathe a sigh of relief?<\/strong> \u201cThe matter can be deemed concluded. However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran\u2019s response will be considerably more severe,\u201d Iran\u2019s permanent mission to the UN said<\/a> on X. Israel is as yet undecided on whether it will choose to retaliate, with a potential response slated for discussion at a war cabinet meeting, the Guardian<\/a> reported, citing Israeli officials. The United States does not intend to participate<\/a> in any counter-offensive against Iran, according to US officials.<\/p>\n

ON A RELATED NOTE-<\/strong>Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guard seized an <\/strong>Israel-linked container vessel, dubbed MSC Aries, near the Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>, The Financial Times<\/a> reported on Saturday. The vessel had a crew of 25 aboard and was operating a service from the UAE\u2019s Khalifa Port to Nhava Sheva in India. Iranian special forces seized the vessel after being transported aboard via helicopter. The US<\/a> and the UK<\/a> were quick to condemn the seizure, and called for the immediate release of the vessel and its crew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
