TUI has provided an update for its customers amid estimates that Britons are being affected by the airspace restrictions over the Middle East.

Significant travel disruption has hit airlines, with numerous flights cancelled departing from the UK to Middle Eastern destinations, following the US-Israeli strikes on Iran over the weekend. This prompted the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to advise against all but essential travel to the United Arab Emirates, with TUI amongst the airlines experiencing delayed or cancelled flights.

Following the disruption, TUI confirmed it is now collaborating with airlines Etihad, Emirates and Qatar Airways to provide flights home to Brits stranded in the Middle East. They stated the flights would commence from Tuesday (March 3).
