Due to the conflict between Hamas and Hezbollah, which has caused a drop in demand in the Middle East region, Lufthansa has modified its scheduling in the area and the airline now avoids flying over Iranian and Iraqi airspace.
As of September 16, 2024, Lufthansa will suspend its services to Kuwait (operated with a stopover in Dammam) and Bahrain (operated with a stopover in Riyadh). On the same date, the airline will modify its operation in Saudi Arabia by operating Frankfurt – Riyadh -Dammam.
