British Airways has postponed the resumption of its flights to Dubai, Doha and Tel Aviv for another month, extending the suspension until August 1 due to the ongoing security situation in the Middle East.
The updated schedule was reflected on the airline’s website on Tuesday, as tensions in the region continue to affect international air travel.
Several global airlines have either suspended or reduced operations to destinations across the Middle East amid concerns over safety and airspace security linked to the ongoing US-Israel conflict with Iran.
In a statement issued to media outlets, a spokesperson for British Airways said the airline had introduced further changes to its flight schedule in order to provide more clarity and convenience for passengers affected by the disruption.
The spokesperson said the airline was closely monitoring developments in the region and remained in direct contact with customers whose travel plans had been impacted. Passengers are being offered various options, including rebooking and other travel arrangements.
Earlier this year, the airline had announced plans to scale down some of its Middle East operations once services resume. The carrier also confirmed that Jeddah would be permanently removed from its destination network as part of a broader review of routes and operations.
According to the revised operational plan, British Airways intends to reduce flights to Dubai, Doha, Riyadh and Tel Aviv to one daily service each after operations restart.
The prolonged suspension highlights the continued impact of geopolitical tensions on the aviation industry, with airlines prioritizing passenger safety and operational stability amid uncertain regional conditions.
International carriers continue to reassess flight schedules as the security situation in the Middle East remains volatile.
