SINGAPORE, Oct 31: Singapore Airlines (SIA) has extended the suspension of its flights between Singapore and Dubai until February 28, 2027, citing the continuing geopolitical situation in the Middle East.
In an updated travel advisory issued on Friday, October 30, the airline confirmed that two services would remain cancelled until the end of February next year.
The affected flights are SQ494, operating from Singapore to Dubai, and SQ495, operating from Dubai to Singapore.
The latest extension means passengers will face nearly three additional months without the airline's direct services between the two destinations, which had previously been suspended until December 1, 2026.
Singapore Airlines warned that other flights across its network could also be affected as the regional situation remains fluid. Passengers have been advised to check the airline's Flight Status page for the latest updates before travelling.
Full refunds for affected passengers
Passengers whose flights have been cancelled are eligible for a full refund of the unused portion of their tickets.
Customers who purchased tickets directly from Singapore Airlines can submit refund requests through the airline's online Assistance Request Form.
Those who booked through travel agents or partner airlines have been advised to contact their respective travel agents or the airline through which they purchased their tickets.
The airline has also urged passengers to update their contact details through the 'Manage Booking' section of its website or subscribe to its mobile notification service to receive flight updates.
Singapore Airlines apologised to affected passengers for the inconvenience caused.
The prolonged suspension comes amid continuing geopolitical tensions and security concerns in the Middle East, which have forced airlines to review flight schedules and operations across the region.
