Lufthansa to avoid Iran, Iraq airspace until 13 August

German airline giant Lufthansa said on Wednesday that it will avoid using Iranian and Iraqi airspace until 13 August, extending an earlier decision not to fly over the countries, with Middle East tensions high.

It also extended a suspension of services to Tel Aviv, Tehran, Beirut, Amman and Erbil to the same date, the group said in a statement.
