SWISS is responding to the latest developments in the Middle East. With immediate effect and until at least 2 October, we will avoid the airspace over Iran, Iraq and Jordan. This will increase flight times by up to 15 minutes on our Dubai, India and South-East Asia services. Regardless of this short-term adjustment, Israeli and Lebanese airspace will be bypassed up to and including 31 October.
Due to the airspace closure, today’s flight LX242 to Dubai has been diverted to Antalya. The aircraft will refuel in Antalya and continue its journey to Dubai outside the affected airspace.
We are continuing to monitor the situation in the Middle East. Our specialists are evaluating all available information and are in constant contact with the relevant authorities in Switzerland and on site.
