Travel Advisory: flight disruptions in the Middle East

1 March 2026 3:35pm AEST

We are closely monitoring the evolving situation in the Middle East, which has led to the suspension or rerouting of many flights operating to, from, or via the region. These changes are being made in response to airspace restrictions.
Airlines are actively updating their policies and flight schedules. We advise all customers with travel plans involving the Middle East, including flights that may transit through the region, to:


• Check your booking regularly for the latest updates from your airline
• Do not proceed to the airport without confirming your flight status, as last-minute changes may occur.

Please consult the Australian Federal Government’s Smart Traveller website for the latest travel and safety advice.
