British Airways has suspended all its flights to Dubai and Doha, Qatar, in the wake of last night’s US bombing raids on Iran.The flag carrier airline said its hand had been forced by “recent events” – and said the move is in the interests of passenger safety.”As a result of recent events, we have adjusted our flight schedule to ensure the safety of our customers and crew, which is always our top priority,” a BA spokesman said.”We are contacting our customers to advise them of their options while we work through this developing situation.”As many as 1,000 passengers are now said to be waiting in the UAE to fly home after British Airways cancelled four flights from London Heathrow to Dubai.
