"Airlines that once relied on the shortest, most fuel-efficient routes are now being forced to take lengthy detours to avoid flying over Iran. Flight durations on some routes have risen by 15-40%, while shorter regional sectors have seen journey times more than double in extreme cases."

Airlines are forced to reroute flights to avoid restricted airspace in the Middle East, resulting in longer flight durations and increased operational costs.

Flight times on certain routes have increased dramatically, with some journeys taking more than double the usual time due to these detours.
