British Airways to resume daily London-Dubai flights from November 3

Published 17 September 2026

British Airways will resume daily flights between London and Dubai on November 3, 2026, marking a partial restoration of its United Kingdom-UAE network after services were suspended earlier this year due to regional conflict. The airline confirmed the schedule, stating it will operate one daily flight during the winter season, with frequency increasing to two daily flights in summer 2027. The resumption follows the airline's suspension of all UAE flights on February 28, 2026, after the outbreak of war between the United States and Iran. British Airways had previously postponed the restart of Dubai services from an earlier October date. The airline said it continues to monitor the Middle East situation and will update its schedule to provide clarity to customers, emphasizing that passenger and crew safety remains its priority. However, the airline's direct London-Abu Dhabi service will not return as soon as some travelers hoped. British Airways has confirmed that flights to Abu Dhabi are suspended until at least the 2027-2028 winter season. This extends a delay from an earlier plan to resume the route in January 2027.
