Malaysia Airlines temporarily halts cargo on KL-London flights.

Malaysia Airlines will temporarily stop carrying cargo on passenger flights from Kuala Lumpur to London due to Iran's attack on Israel, forcing airlines to make lengthy detours. The airline will reroute flights to avoid Middle Eastern airspace, needing more fuel and resulting in load lightening between April 17-30. The measure is one of the most drastic taken by airlines facing issues with travel itineraries and longer flight times after the Iran-Israel conflict.
