British Airways cancels flights to 4 destinations until October

British Airways had been set to resume its regular schedule to Dubai International Airport on July 1.

However, this has now been delayed, and all flights between the UK and Dubai have now been cancelled until October 25, according to Time Out.

All flights to Amman, Bahrain and Tel Aviv have also been cancelled until October.

BA has also confirmed it is reducing its Doha schedule to one daily flight, set to resume from August 1, Time Out added.

A British Airways spokesperson said: “We understand that the continuing situation in the Middle East remains worrying for many of our customers, particularly those planning travel in the months ahead.

“Due to ongoing uncertainty and airspace restrictions, some of our flights in the region have been cancelled or temporarily suspended, including services to and from Abu Dhabi, Amman, Bahrain, Doha, Dubai, Tel Aviv, and Riyadh.

“To give customers greater peace of mind, we’re extending the flexibility available to those with bookings to these destinations.”

Refunds are available for BA passengers booked to travel to and/or from any of the destinations affected by the Middle East conflict, even if the flight is still scheduled to operate.
