Flights to and from the Middle East continue to face major disruption, despite US President Donald Trump announcing a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Iran.

Services to and from the Qatari capital Doha have been particularly affected after Iranian forces fired rockets at a US military base in the country on Monday (23 June).

Qatari airspace had to be closed for several hours on Monday before later reopening, while flights were also paused briefly at Dubai airport in the nearby United Arab Emirates.

Qatar Airways said in a statement it was resuming operations ¡°as quickly as possible¡± following the reopening of the country¡¯s airspace.

¡°As usual operations resume, we anticipate significant delays to our flight schedule,¡± added the airline.

Meanwhile, British Airways has cancelled all scheduled departures from London Heathrow to Doha between Monday and Wednesday (23-25 June). BA¡¯s flights to and from Dubai are continuing to operate.

¡°Safety is always our highest priority and following the latest developments, we have suspended flights to and from Doha up to and including Wednesday 25 June,¡± added a BA spokesperson.?¡°We are contacting our customers to advise them of their options?and will keep the situation under review.¡±

Dubai Airports said that flights from Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International (DWC) may ¡°experience delays, cancellations or diversions¡± due to the impact of airspace closures.

¡°We strongly advise all travellers to check with their airline for the latest flight status before heading to the airport, and to allow extra time for their journey,¡± added a statement from Dubai Airports.

Emirates said that some flights travelling to Dubai had to be rerouted on Monday as a precaution but there were no diversions to other airports.

¡°After a thorough and careful risk assessment, Emirates will continue to operate flights as scheduled, using flightpaths well distanced from conflict areas,¡± added the airline in a statement.

¡°Some flights may incur delays due to longer reroutings or airspace congestion, but Emirates' teams are working hard to keep to schedule and minimise any disruption or inconvenience to our customers.¡±

Finnair said on Monday it has cancelled all flights to Doha until 30 June, while Air France is due to resume flights to Dubai and Riyadh on Wednesday (25 June) with services to Beirut set to restart on Thursday (26 June). Although flights between Paris and Tel Aviv are still suspended until 14 July.

Commercial flights to both Israel and Iran were initially grounded, with Israeli carrier El Al confirming on Tuesday afternoon that it was "preparing to operate an airlift to support the recovery of tens of thousands of passengers to Israel".
