US-Israel strikes on Iran disrupt European summer travel

aljazeera.com

The US-Israel war on Iran is disrupting European summer travel, forcing airlines to reroute flights and pushing holidaymakers to choose destinations closer to home. Airlines suspended Gulf and Middle East routes, while rerouted flights add one to two hours and thousands of kilograms of fuel. Travel firms report thousands of booking changes, with Italy, Spain, Greece and Norway now top choices. The disruption also hurts non-combatant destinations like Sri Lanka, where summer bookings fell 20 to 30 percent. European safety regulators have extended airspace warnings across the region.
