Multiple airlines, including United Airlines, faced disruptions as airspace closures were implemented in the Middle East following Iran's drone strike on Israel. According to U.S. officials, both Israel and Jordan closed their airspace in response to the attack.

United Airlines, which recently resumed its flights to Tel Aviv after a temporary suspension due to Hamas attacks, had to cancel its Newark to Tel Aviv flight on Saturday as Israel closed its airspace. This decision came in line with the carrier's priority of ensuring the safety of its passengers and crew, as stated in their official statement.

In addition to Israel, Jordan and Iraq also closed their airspace, as reported by Jordanian state-owned media news outlet Al Mamlaka. This further complicated the situation, causing diversions and grounding flights across the Middle East on Saturday.

Delta Air Lines had plans to restart its flights to Tel Aviv on June 7th, while American Airlines has not yet resumed service to Israel. United Airlines was also scheduled to operate a flight from Washington Dulles International Airport to Amman, Jordan, on Saturday night. However, it is highly likely that this flight will be canceled.

The closure of the airspace has led to a significant number of flights being diverted, as reported by flight-tracking site Flightradar24. Multiple flights bound for Tel Aviv and Amman were rerouted due to the ongoing situation.

The exact duration of the airspace closures and when flights will resume remains unknown. United Airlines, among other carriers, is closely monitoring the situation to make informed decisions regarding upcoming flights, prioritizing the safety of its customers and crew.

As tensions in the region continue to escalate, airlines are closely cooperating with authorities and monitoring the situation to ensure the well-being of their passengers. Passengers are advised to stay updated with the latest information from their respective airlines regarding their flights to and from the affected areas.
