Travel: Aviation
US Treasury has intensified its aviation sanctions on Iran, adding a broad range of restrictions that will affect airlines operating in or through Iranian airspace. The move follows heightened geopolitical tensions and aims to curb Iran’s aviation industry by limiting access to aircraft parts and financing. Airlines with Iranian connections face new compliance burdens, potentially disrupting international routes that previously relied on Iranian airports. In the UK, a technical glitch at Heathrow has triggered a wave of flight cancellations, creating widespread travel chaos. The outage, which began late last week, has halted departures for several major carriers, leaving passengers stranded and forcing airlines to rebook or refund tickets. Authorities are investigating the root cause while working to restore normal operations. Separately, a United States Air Force Boeing 767 overran Miami International Airport’s runway, sustaining a fire on the nose gear area.
