Air France announced on Tuesday that it is temporarily suspending all flights from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris to both Beirut and Tel Aviv until September 19.
The decision comes in response to heightened security concerns in the Middle East, with the airline closely monitoring the evolving situation. Operations are expected to resume following a thorough evaluation of the risks.
This suspension follows a similar move earlier in the day by Lufthansa, which halted flights to and from both Tel Aviv and Tehran, citing regional instability.
Lufthansa also confirmed that it will avoid flying over Israeli and Iranian airspace until at least Thursday.
These flight suspensions are part of broader safety measures that airlines are taking due to escalating tensions in the Middle East.
The region has seen rising instability, prompting global aviation authorities and airlines to reassess the safety of certain flight routes.
Historically, the Middle East has been a key hub for international air traffic, but security risks, including conflicts and political unrest, have occasionally led to flight diversions or cancellations.
In recent years, airlines have become more cautious, especially in conflict zones, following incidents that have threatened passenger safety.
