Regional tensions disrupt flights to Yerevan

Several flights scheduled from Doha, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi to Yerevan and in the opposite direction have been canceled, Zvartnots International Airport said, Panorama.am reports.

Air traffic in the region continues to be affected by attacks carried out against Iran and the subsequent retaliatory actions.

According to information from the airport, two flights on the Dubai–Yerevan route will operate with delays. Instead of the originally scheduled 10:25 departure, they are now expected to take place at 13:31.

On February 28, Israel and the United States carried out airstrikes against Iran, during which Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed. Iran subsequently launched retaliatory strikes against Israel and countries in the Persian Gulf hosting U.S. military bases.
