UAE Suspends Flights by Iranian Airlines Until Further Notice Following US Sanctions

British Airways resumed daily flights between London Heathrow and Dubai International Airport on 3 November 2026 after an eight-month pause caused by regional conflict and airspace restrictions. The carrier has reinstated one daily winter flight, down from up to three daily flights operated before the suspension. The resumption comes as UK travel guidance continues to warn passengers of regional security risks and potential airspace volatility.
