Risks associated with the ongoing conflict led to the suspension of flights to several Middle Eastern destinations, including Tel Aviv, Dubai, Bahrain, and Amman. British Airways, a subsidiary of International Airlines Group, had announced in late May that these suspensions would remain in place until at least October 25, as reported by Walla.",
