Warning to Brits as flights AXED to hotspots including Dubai after Donald Trump bombs Iran

Flights to several Brit tourist hotspots have been cancelled following Donald Trump's overnight bombing strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.

Some travellers have faced huge disruptions after all scheduled flights from a major London airport to the Brit holiday spots of Dubai and Doha have been cancelled. All British Airways flights to the major Gulf cities , from Heathrow, were axed on Sunday, according to the airline. This drastic move also included return flights from these airports back to the UK. This comes after a British Airways flight from Heathrow to Dubai was diverted, to Zurich, amid escalations between Iran and the US.

Donald Trump ordered the bombing of three of Iran's nuclear facilities overnight on Sunday. The US President confirmed the news on Truth Social and said: "We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan."

Tehran launched retaliatory strikes on Israel after the nuclear sites were bombed in the US operation. Following the US strikes on Iran, Israel confirmed its airspace was closed to incoming and departing flights.

British Airways, in a statement, 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."

This travel disruption has left more than 1,000 British Airways passengers stranded in Dubai as they wait to be flown back to the UK. Despite this, flights from the UK to Dubai through Emirates have not been disrupted and continue as normal.

Flights from London Gatwick to Doha and Dubai are also operating as scheduled, despite disruption from Heathrow, according to the airport's website.
