Starting this discussion for members to share information about the impact of the Middle East Conflict (e.g. war in Iran) on their travel business, or travels.
The purpose of this thread is to help people stay better informed through this crisis.
Rules:

Let's use the power of our community to support each other!
I am really concerned about this situation (beyond the obvious loss of life) from an economic perspective and then effecting tourism. Rising prices will lower demand. And on key routes (Europe–Asia, Africa–Asia), 30%–60% of fights connect through the Gulf States. When/how will those airlines return to their full flight schedule? I am hosting a global conference in October and concerned the long tail of this war will still be an issue months from now. I hope I am wrong.
We are based in Lebanon and we can report 100% of loss due to the war. We had a pretty promising season and we were barely recovering from 2024. We are however working as fixers for media, for now. The prospects are gloomy. we were supposed to travel to Quebec for ATTA - not sure how this will happen now either. So as much as we would love to discuss customer behavior, it boils down to this: there are no customers :)
Airline Pilot | Founder, JetVoy | Luxury Mobility Infrastructure, JetVoy
I’ve been bought directly impacted and indirectly impacted. Directly impacted through Jetvoy, which is a mobility for structure which essentially curates luxury mobility from that region— and indirectly impacted due to rise in fuel costs in aviation. For instance, the airline I work for is facing headwinds due to the increase in fuel cost.
