Travel to the Middle East has been heavily disrupted following US and Israeli strikes on Iran at the weekend, and retaliatory attacks by Iran. Several countries in the region, including the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, have closed their airspace.
The Foreign Office is advising against all but essential travel to the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait, and fresh advice has been issued for Cyprus – where a UK air base has been hit – and other neighbouring destinations including Saudi Arabia, Oman and Jordan.
