Airlines serving the Middle East are loosening ticket rules and waiving costly penalties as geopolitical tensions continue to disrupt flight schedules across the region.

The Philippine Travel Agencies Association (PTAA) is seeking fare waivers and stronger passenger assistance from Middle Eastern airlines as regional tensions disrupt flight routes and send international ticket prices sharply higher.
