One of its earlier flights turned back to Dubai, it said.<br \/>\nAn Iran Air flight from Rome to Tehran was diverted to Ankara, Turkey, Flightradar 24 showed.<br \/>\nEmirates, Flydubai, Turkish Air, Wizz Air Abu Dhabi and Belavia were among the carriers continuing to fly over the part of Iran\u2019s airspace that remained open in the initial hours after the attack early on Friday, the tracking website showed.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are monitoring the situation closely and will make changes to our flight paths in consultation with the relevant authorities,\u201d Flydubai said in a statement.<br \/>\nThe airspace and airport closures in Iran compounded a difficult week for Dubai-based carriers after record rainfall in the United Arab Emirates.<br \/>\nSince Tuesday, 1,478 flights have been cancelled to and from Dubai, approximately 30% of all flights, according to FlightRadar24.<br \/>\nMany Western and Asian airlines had already been steering clear of Iran and its airspace before the Israeli attack, which came days after Iran\u2019s missile and drone attack on Israel.<br \/>\nGermany\u2019s Lufthansa LHAG.DE on Wednesday extended a suspension of flights to Tehran until the end of the month, citing ongoing security concerns in the region.<br \/>\nAustralia\u2019s Qantas Airways QAN.AX said on Saturday it was rerouting flights between Perth and London on concerns about the Middle East, adding a fuel stop in Singapore as it avoided Iran\u2019s airspace.<br \/>\nTaiwan\u2019s China Airlines 2610.TW said in a statement to it \u201ccontinues to pay attention to the situation as it develops and plans the most appropriate routes in accordance with the recommendations of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency\u201d.<br \/>\nEtihad Airways, which does not fly to Iran, said it \u201ccontinuously monitors security and airspace updates, safety is always our highest priority and we would never operate a flight unless it was safe to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fact: Airlines quickly changed flight paths over Iran, diverted to alternate airports, or returned planes
