KLM Flight Suspensions to Middle East Extended
Dutch airline KLM announced on Tuesday that it will continue to suspend flights to various Middle Eastern destinations until at least mid-July. The resumption of services to Dubai is postponed until at least August 2, while flights to Riyadh and Dammam are halted until July 12.
KLM, the Dutch airline, announced on Tuesday that its flights to several destinations in the Middle East will remain suspended until mid-July. The decision comes as tensions and conflicts persist in the region.
Initially scheduled to resume operations by June 28, flights to Dubai have now been delayed to August 2 at the earliest. Routes to Riyadh and Dammam will stay grounded until at least July 12, according to the airline.
Flights have been canceled since March 1, a decision driven by the ongoing war in Iran and subsequent regional attacks. KLM, part of the Air France-KLM group, aims to ensure passenger safety amid these continued hostilities.
