International flight bookings around the world have fallen since the onset of the Israel-Hamas conflict especially in the Americas as people cancel trips to the Middle East and around the world, Reuters cites the travel analysis firm ForwardKeys as saying.

“This war is a catastrophic, heartbreaking, human tragedy that we are all seeing daily on our TV screens,” said Olivier Ponti, vice president of insights at ForwardKeys in a statement.

International flight bookings from the Americas dropped 10 per cent in the three weeks after the Oct 7 attack, when compared to the number of tickets issued three weeks before the attack, according to flight ticketing data from ForwardKeys.

People in the Middle East have also been traveling less with international flight tickets issued in the region having fallen 9pc in the same period. International flight bookings to travel to the region plummeted 26pc in the three weeks following the attack.
