Global airlines have suspended or reduced flights in the Middle East as the conflict between Israel and Iran rages after the United States bombed three Iranian nuclear enrichment sites and Iran retaliated by targeting a US military base in Qatar.

Here is the latest airline situation:

European airlines

British Airways cancelled flights between London’s Heathrow Airport and Dubai and Doha on Sunday (local time) following the US strikes on Iran.

The airline said on Monday it was scheduled to operate those routes as normal, though there were some cancellations ahead of a clutch of evening flights.

Air France halted flights to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates until at least Tuesday inclusive, the airline said.

It also extended the suspension of the Paris-Tel Aviv route until July 14.

Flights of Air France’s low-cost carrier Transavia from Paris to Beirut have been suspended until June 30 while the Tel Aviv route is closed until September 7.

Germany’s Lufthansa group, whose other airlines include Swiss, Austrian and ITA, has suspended flights to the Middle East until June 30.

The Amman and Erbil, Iraq, routes were also suspended until July 11.

The group will not fly to Tel Aviv and Tehran until July 31 and is also avoiding the air space of countries involved in the conflict.

No Turkish Airlines flights to Baghdad, Damascus and Tehran are available before July 1.

Finnair meanwhile confirmed it was suspending flights to Doha. The carrier is also staying out of the airspace of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Israel.

US and Canadian airlines

United Airlines has warned passengers that flights to and from Dubai scheduled between June 18 and July 3 may be affected and is offering no-fee ticket changes under certain conditions due to Middle East unrest.

The US airline has implemented the same flexibility for Tel Aviv flights between June 13 and August 1, allowing customers to rebook for other major European cities.

Middle East airlines

Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain closed their airspace today after Iran said it fired missiles towards a US military base in Qatar.

Qatar has since announced the re-opening of its airspace, the Qatari aviation authority said.

“The General Civil Aviation Authority announces the resumption of air traffic in the airspace of the State of Qatar and the return of the atmosphere to normal,” it said in a statement on X.

EgyptAir said it is cancelling all flights to Gulf countries until the situation “stabilises”. Dubai-based Emirates has stopped flying to Tehran and Baghdad until June 30 but said all its other destinations are being served as normal.
