LONDON: British Airways, Singapore Airlines and Air France said on Sunday they had cancelled flights to Dubai, Doha and Riyadh following US strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran overnight.
“As a result of recent events, we have adjusted our flight schedule to ensure the safety of our customers and crew,” the British carrier said in a statement.
Singapore Airlines said it cancelled two flights between Singapore and Dubai on Sunday following “a security assessment of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.”
Air France KLM said it has canceled flights to and from Dubai and Riyadh on Sunday and Monday.
Airlines continued to avoid large parts of the Middle East on Sunday after the US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, according to flight tracking website FlightRadar24, with traffic already skirting airspace in the region due to recent missile exchanges.
