Flights from London to Doha and Dubai cancelled after US strikes Iran
Flights from London to Dubai and Doha have been cancelled after Donald Trump ordered a US attack on Iran's nuclear sites. It comes after a British Airways (BA) flight from London Heathrow to Dubai was diverted to Zurich on Saturday night. The BA109 flight departed from the UK at 9.53pm on Saturday and reached Saudi Arabia before the Boeing 787 Dreamliner changed its course, landing in Switzerland, according to flight-tracking website Flightradar24. All of the airline's flights to Dubai and Doha that were scheduled to depart from Heathrow on Sunday have been cancelled, including return flights, the company said. Israel announced on Sunday that it had closed its airspace to both inbound and outbound flights in the wake of the US attacks. The US struck three nuclear sites in Iran overnight prompting Tehran to launch a retaliatory ballistic missile barrage against Israel. In a statement, British Airways said: 'As a result of recent events, we have adjusted our flight schedule to ensure the safety of our customers and crew, which is always our top priority. 'We are contacting our customers to advise them of their options while we work through this developing situation.' BA is offering a flexible booking policy for customers already booked onto flights to Dubai and Doha between Sunday and Tuesday who wish to change their dates of travel.

Air India cuts less than 5% of narrowbody jet routes, suspends two international flights
NEW DELHI, June 22 (Reuters) - Air India said on Sunday it is temporarily reducing less than 5% of its narrowbody jet routes for "operational stability", its second such reduction following a plane crash earlier this month that killed all but one of the 242 people on board. The airline, reeling from the deadliest crash in decades, said in a post on X that the cuts will strengthen its network-wide operational stability. Two daily flights from India to Singapore will be suspended along with disruptions on 19 domestic routes until July 15, it said. On June 18, the airline cut international operations on its widebody aircraft by 15%, citing ongoing safety inspections and operational disruptions.
