International airlines continue to adjust schedules for Middle East flights as airspace restrictions linked to the Iran war persist.

Against the backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty across the region, here's how airlines are adapting their operations.

Lufthansa has resumed flights to Tel Aviv, but services to Dubai are to remain suspended until March 27, 2027. The suspension also applies to flights operated by other airlines in the Lufthansa Group, including Swiss and Eurowings.

"Affected passengers will be contacted directly by their respective airlines and will be offered flexible rebooking options or a full refund," Lufthansa said.

Air France has resumed its regular flights to Tel Aviv and Beirut, but flights to Dubai are suspended until November 19. Flights to Riyadh have been paused until January 3, 2027.

“Affected customers are being contacted individually. Air France reiterates that the safety and security of its customers and crew are its absolute priority,” the airline said.

Italy's national carrier has suspended all flights to Riyadh until January 7, 2027, while flights to Dubai are suspended until January 30, 2027.

Flights between Rome and Tel Aviv have resumed, but with reduced frequency.

British Airways has resumed flights between London Heathrow and Dubai International Airport after an eight-month suspension caused by the conflict in the Middle East.
