Japan Airlines (JAL) has decided to cancel its Tokyo/Haneda–Doha route through March 3.
A total of 6 flights will be suspended: departures from Tokyo/Haneda through March 2 and departures from Doha through March 3. Around 1,000 passengers are expected to be affected.
Taking into account the situation in the Middle East, JAL states that the flights will remain canceled until it can confirm that flight operations can be conducted with sufficient safety. The route normally operates one round-trip flight per day.
The United States and Israel have attacked Iran, and Iran is believed to be retaliating by attacking, or targeting, U.S. military bases in neighboring countries. Countries across the Middle East are closing their airspace, and Qatar Airways has temporarily suspended all flights to and from Doha, Emirates has done the same for flights to and from Dubai, and Etihad Airways for flights to and from Abu Dhabi.
