Low-cost carrier SalamAir has temporarily suspended flights to several destinations across the Middle East as aviation disruptions continue to ripple through the region. The decision comes amid widespread airspace closures and safety concerns linked to escalating geopolitical tensions that have forced airlines to cancel or reroute thousands of flights.
The airline confirmed that flights to Iraq, Lebanon and Iran have been suspended until March 28, 2026, while services to Kuwait City, Sharjah, Doha and Dammam are paused until March 20, 2026 due to ongoing airspace restrictions. The move reflects the growing impact of regional instability on global aviation, with airlines across the Gulf adjusting operations to protect passengers and crews.
