Greece, a significant hub for travel to the Middle East and the southeastern Mediterranean, has suspended flights to Beirut and Tel Aviv.

Aegean Airlines, one of Greece’s primary carriers, has halted flights to and from Beirut until October 31, and Tel Aviv until this Sunday, as tensions in the region continue to rise.

Following a large missile attack on Tel Aviv, Eurocontrol, the pan-European air traffic control agency, issued a stark warning to pilots about the growing conflict.

“A major missile attack has been launched against Israel in the last few minutes,” it said in an urgent navigation bulletin. “The entire country is currently under a missile warning.”

Eurocontrol also announced the closure of Jordanian and Iraqi airspace, as well as a key crossing point into airspace controlled by Cyprus.

Greek Australians and Cypriot Greek Australians, currently in Greece or Cyprus, or travel to the Middle East are advised to remain vigilant and check for updates online, through travel agents, or their booked airline.
