In a statement issued on February 20, the airline indicated that it is continuously monitoring the situation across the Near and Middle East in real time. The suspension of services was attributed to potential restrictions affecting specific airspace routes.
As part of these operational adjustments, Air France suspended all flights to and from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with services expected to resume after February 24. Furthermore, flights connecting to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, are suspended through February 27. The airline also extended the suspension for travel to and from Beirut, Lebanon, setting a new expected resumption date of August 2.
The airline emphasized that the resumption of all services remains contingent upon the evolving security situation across the region. This cautious approach reflects the ongoing assessment of travel risks within the Middle East. The decision underscores the airline’s commitment to passenger safety amidst the heightened geopolitical environment.
Travelers are advised to monitor official channels for the most current updates regarding flight schedules and operational status. The continuation of these flights across the Middle East will be subject to favorable changes in local security conditions, ensuring adherence to all necessary international travel advisories.
