British Airways has cut flights to seven Middle Eastern destinations.
The airline has adjusted its summer 2026 schedule, which runs until October 24, as a result of the ongoing conflict in the region.
A spokesperson for British Airways said: "Due to the ongoing situation in the Middle East, we have made further changes to our flying schedule to provide greater clarity for our customers.
"We are keeping the situation under constant review and are directly in touch with affected customers to offer them a range of options.
"Since the disruption began, we have helped thousands of customers return home, operated relief flights, and added additional capacity on key long-haul routes.
"We will continue to assess and introduce further flying where possible."
The affected cities are Dubai, Doha, Riyadh, Tel Aviv, Bahrain, Amman, and Jeddah.
Flights to Dubai have been reduced from three per day to one.
The daily service is due to return on August 1, with a second daily flight planned for October 16.
Flights to Doha, Riyadh, and Tel Aviv have been cut from twice daily to once daily until August 1, when full service is due to resume.
Services to Bahrain and Amman are paused for the remainder of the summer season and will start again on October 25.
British Airways has also permanently discontinued its Jeddah route as of April 24.
The airline has stated it is directly in touch with affected customers to offer them a range of options.
Europe heading for 'energy crisis'
The head of the International Energy Agency has warned that Europe has about six weeks of jet fuel left.
IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said we are heading for “the largest energy crisis we have ever faced,” stemming from the pinch-off of oil, gas and other vital supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.

The impact will be “higher petrol (gasoline) prices, higher gas prices, high electricity prices,” said Birol.
He added that some parts of the world will be hit worse than others.
He shared that “the front line is the Asian countries” that rely on energy from the Middle East, naming Japan, Korea, India, China, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
“Then it will come to Europe and the Americas," Birol continued.
