British Airways has announced it will not resume its flights to Dubai this summer as planned, pushing the start date back until at least October.

The airline suspended most flights to the Middle East shortly after the start of the Iran war, initially stating that flights to Dubai, Doha and Tel Aviv would resume on 1 July.
