Airlines weigh Mideast cancellations after US strikes leave many stranded

With Russian and Ukrainian airspace closed due to war, the Middle East route is vital for Europe-Asia flights, but FlightRadar24 showed empty skies over Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Israel Reuters Commercial airlines around the world on Monday were weighing how long to suspend Middle East flights after the US struck Iran. Singapore Airlines, one of the highest-profile in Asia, had called the situation "fluid" on Sunday as it cancelled flights from Singapore to Dubai following a security assessment. Air France KLM said on Sunday that it cancelled flights to and from Dubai and Riyadh on Sunday and Monday. British Airways, owned by IAG ICAG.L, also cancelled flights to and from Dubai and Doha for Sunday. It was still reviewing the situation, it said in a statement on Sunday evening, when asked about later flights. Missile and drone barrages in a growing number of conflict zones represent a high risk to airline traffic, and an organization that monitors flight risks, Safe Airspace, a website run by OPSGROUP, warned on Sunday that US attacks on Iran's nuclear sites could heighten the threat to American operators in the region. In the days before the US strikes, American Airlines suspended flights to Qatar and United Airlines did the same with flights to Dubai. Airlines are also concerned about a potential spike in oil prices following the US attacks, which will increase the cost of jet fuel. Israel meanwhile is ramping up flights to help stranded travellers at home and abroad. The country's Airports Authority says that so-called rescue flights to the country would expand on Monday with 24 a day, although each flight would be limited to 50 passengers. Israeli airline El Al on Sunday said it had received applications to leave the country from about 25,000 people in about a day.

What is Strait of Hormuz that Iran may shut and how will it affect India

The Strait of Hormuz, that many countries rely on heavily for their crude exports and imports, may be shut down as the Israel-Iran conflict intensifies. After the US struck nuclear facilities in Iran, Tehran hinted at the closure of this passage, which could leave a big impact globally. A map showing the Strait of Hormuz and Iran is seen in this illustration.(Reuters) The strait, located between Iran and its Gulf Arab neighbours, is also used by India for about 40 per cent of its supplies sourced from Middle East nations such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait. Facilitating the supply of about a fifth of the world's oil is supplied daily, will the Strait of Hormuz closure deeply impact India? Impact on India's crude imports In total, India imports 5.5 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil, of which about 2 million bpd is sourced through the Strait of Hormuz. While some experts believe that the closure of the passage will impact oil markets significantly, there is less likelihood of a big hit to India. This is because both Qatar, India's principal gas supplier, and Russia, from where India gets a significant portion of oil, do not use the Strait of Hormuz. The Russian oil uses either the Suez Canal, Cape of Good Hope, or the Pacific Ocean for its passage, and. Besides, India's other sources for LNG supply are in Australia, Russia and the US. However, India's crude oil imports from Iraq, and to an extent from Saudi Arabia may get impacted, as both countries use the Strait of Hormuz for its exports. What is Strait of Hormuz? Amid its conflict with Israel to which the US is now a party, Iran is weighing in on several options to send a message, and gain control amid escalating tensions. One of these options is the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a significant passage that facilitating the supply of about a fifth of the world's oil is supplied daily. "A variety of options are available to Iran," Iranian foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi had said when asked about the closure after the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. However, even a brief closure of this passage would not just impact other exports from countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar, but Iran too. Besides, China, a key ally to Iran, is the biggest importer of Iranian oil. However, reports have suggested that the Iranian parliament has given a nod to close the Strait of Hormuz, a move the US has termed "economic suicide".
