Anonymous
Airlines are changing Middle East schedules amid regional uncertainty. Air Canada has extended Dubai and Tel Aviv cancellations through the end of March 2027, while Cathay Pacific has suspended passenger flights to Dubai and Riyadh through January 31, 2027; both offer affected customers options such as rebooking or refunds. Air France has resumed service to Tel Aviv and Beirut, but flights to Dubai and Riyadh remain suspended until October 24. Wizz Air has resumed mainland Europe–Amman flights and paused Dubai and Abu Dhabi services through October 24. British Airways plans to resume Dubai flights on November 3, and Kazakhstan’s carrier has made Dubai flights bookable from October 1. Separately, Air France is ending its Denver–Paris route after United announced plans to serve it next year.
Key Points
1
Air Canada’s suspension is an airline-specific decision, not a closure of Dubai International Airport; the airline said its Dubai services would remain cancelled through the end of March 2027.
2
Cathay Pacific said its cargo division is still reviewing when it might resume freighter services to Dubai and Riyadh, even as passenger flights remain suspended.
3
British Airways plans to restart Dubai service with one daily London flight during the winter season, then increase to two daily flights.
4
Air France began flying between Denver and Paris in 2021, later shifted the route between seasonal and year-round service, and most recently operated it three times weekly with a larger Boeing 777-200ER. Its withdrawal makes it the third European airline to drop Denver service recently.
