Major U.S. Airlines Halt Middle East Routes Amid Heightened Tensions
American Airlines suspends Philadelphia–Doha flights as well
American Airlines has joined United in suspending flights from Philadelphia to Doha at least through Sunday, attributing the disruption to deteriorating security conditions amid the Iran–Israel crisis.
The airline emphasised that passenger safety remains its top priority while monitoring the evolving conflict and adjusting schedules as necessary.
These steps by U.S. carriers underscore a broader trend of airlines retracting services to key Gulf hubs in response to escalating geopolitical threats.
