BRITISH Airways has cancelled all flights to Dubai until June as the ongoing crisis in Iran continues to affect travel.
The flag carrier confirmed yesterday that they have suspended operations until May 31.
This includes to the UAE city of Dubai, as well as Amman in Jordan and to Bahrain.
British Airways usually operates around 20 flights a week to Dubai so thousands of passengers are expected to be affected.
Flights to Doha have been suspended until the end of April.
And the airline has cancelled the rest of their Abu Dhabi flights for the season, meaning they won’t restart until October 25.
An spokesman said: “Due to the continuing uncertainty of the situation in the Middle East and airspace instability, and to provide more clarity to our customers, we’ve extended the temporary reduction in our flying schedule in the region.
“We’re keeping the situation under constant review and are directly in touch with affected customers to offer them a range of options.
“Since the situation in the Middle East began, we’ve helped thousands of customers return home and operated eight relief flights from Muscat in Oman.”
British Airways confirmed that they are operating more flights via other international hubs in replacement of Dubai, which is one of the world’s busiest airports.
This includes four more flights via Singapore and three more flights via Bangkok.
Passengers affected will be able to rebook with another airline, or move their travel to a different date.
Otherwise full refunds are being given to anyone with bookings up to May 31.
The ongoing Iran crisis is still causing chaos for travellers, not just those in the Middle East.
