A major airline has given an update on its rescue flights with the Middle East conflict continuing to rage.

There have been thousands of Brits who were left stranded in the region following the outbreak of the conflict but now 11 days on, British Airways has announced it will suspend its daily rescue flights from Muscat “due to reduced demand”.

It added that the suspension of its flights to the rest of the region will continue until at least later this month because of “the continuing uncertainty of the situation in the Middle East and airspace instability”.
