The Federal Aviation Administrator (FAA) recently banned all US airlines to not fly over Iran and Iraq following the launch of missiles across Iranian and Iraqi airspace. Majority of airlines around the world have made the adjustments to their flight routes to avoid those two countries airspace as well for safety reasons. However, there are some airlines still flying over either country.
