For the Lufthansa airline, they have said they have avoided the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman since last Thursday. Even though they bladed farther than the original route, they continued to do so for safety.

Lufthansa airlines serve flight routes from European countries to India.

Malaysia Airlines said the plane avoided airspace above the Strait of Hormuz for flights with destinations from London, Jeddah and Medina.
