Although much of the Middle East's airspace has reopened, airlines continue to review their operations because tensions between the United States and Iran have resurfaced.
The current uncertainty stems from an interim memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed in June after the conflict that followed US and Israeli strikes on Iran. The agreement ended hostilities and aimed to ensure the safe movement of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz while paving the way for broader negotiations on issues such as Iran's nuclear programme and sanctions.
