Singapore Airlines said Wednesday it was diverting all flight routes from Iranian airspace.
The announcement came after Iran launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles against multiple bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq.
“In view of the latest developments between the US and Iran, all SIA flights in and out of Europe are diverted from the Iranian airspace,” the airline said in a statement to CNBC. “We are monitoring the situation closely and will make the appropriate adjustments to our routes if necessary.”
Tehran’s attack follows the U.S. killing of Iran’s top general, Qasem Soleimani, last Friday. Tensions in the Middle East rose following his death, with Iran vowing revenge.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said it was closely monitoring events in the Middle East, according to media reports.
