British Airways has announced it is suspending all flights to Israel and Dubai until the summer season, citing “ongoing uncertainty” and “instability in the airspace” in the Middle East and Persian Gulf.

In an official statement, the airline confirmed that, in addition to Tel Aviv, it is halting flights to other major Middle Eastern destinations, including Bahrain, Amman (Jordan), and Dubai, until after May 31.

Flights to Doha, Qatar, will be suspended until the end of April, while the Abu Dhabi route has been canceled until further notice this year.

This move by British Airways is seen as a significant step, marking the first such action taken by a major airline in the Gulf region since the onset of the war with Iran, which entered its third week this week.

It is also worth noting that, alongside British Airways, German aviation giant Lufthansa announced that its airlines, Austrian Airlines, Swiss, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings, will not fly to Tel Aviv until at least April 2.

On Tuesday, Lufthansa extended its suspension until April 9. For operational reasons, the flagship carrier has also stopped flights to Riyadh through April 5, though ITA Airways’ scheduled flights will continue as scheduled, it added.

On Monday, Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air announced it was extending the suspension of its flights to Israel until April 7. As a result, anyone who had planned to rely on its services for Passover will need to adjust their travel plans.
