Ammon News - Royal Jordanian Airlines suspended its flights to the Lebanese capital Beirut on Monday, as it will cancel Monday's flight RJ403 and Tuesday's flight RJ407, in accordance with the decision of the Jordanian Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) to suspend all flights of national companies to Beirut airport for a short period.

The evaluation is ongoing regarding Tuesday's flights, the Royal Jordanian said in a press statement.

Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) on Monday said it had suspended five routes to and from Beirut by the group's carriers Swiss International Air Lines, Eurowings and Lufthansa up to and including July 30 "in an abundance of caution".

A rocket strike that killed 12 teenagers and children in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Saturday has added to concerns that Israel and the Iran-backed group could engage in a full-scale war.

Turkey-based budget carrier SunExpress, Turkish Airlines subsidiary AJet, Greek carrier Aegean Airlines, Ethiopian Air and MEA have also cancelled flights scheduled to land in Beirut on Monday, Flightradar24 shows.
