"Currently, Vietnam Airlines flights to Europe are operating normally," said the airline representative.

In addition to Vietnam Airlines, other airlines such as Vietjet , Bamboo Airways, and Vietravel Airlines do not operate flights through Israeli and Iranian airspace.

Around the world , data from Flightradar24 shows that airlines have had to urgently redirect and cancel many flights to ensure the safety of passengers and crew.

Airlines were forced to urgently divert from the airspace of Israel, Iran, Iraq and Jordan on June 13, after Israel launched attacks on multiple targets in Iran.

Iraq also closed its airspace and suspended all operations at its airports early on June 13, Iraqi state media reported. The eastern part of Iraq, near the border with Iran, is one of the world's busiest air corridors, with dozens of flights between Europe and the Gulf, as well as many routes from Asia to Europe, operating continuously.

Jordan, a country located between Israel and Iraq, also closed its airspace hours after Israel began its air campaign.
