My question is, what effect will this have on the ME3, who are mostly all apparently in a bit of a boom currently? You would imagine it will greatly affect world travel in general, but specifically to and through the Middle East. Will oil prices explode and are we potentially looking at the start of a new downturn?
Apologies for the wholly negative view.
EK are still overflying Iran including flights from the UK. At one point they flew over Iraq instead but did this change?
