Air France cuts key Middle East flights until March 5

Air France said Monday it was extending its suspension of flights to four major destinations in the Middle East until March 5 due to the US-Israeli war with Iran.

The airline said in a statement it was suspending flights to Tel Aviv, Beirut, Dubai and Riyadh until Thursday due to "the security situation" in the region.

Numerous airports shut down and carriers suspended flights after the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran on Saturday, which Iran retaliated to with missile launches across the region.
