Following recent military escalations in the Middle East, Greece's Aegean Airlines has announced a suspension of flights to and from Tel Aviv, Beirut, and Erbil until March 2. This decision comes on the heels of coordinated strikes by Israel and the United States on Iran, intensifying regional tensions.
