Air France has confirmed that it has suspended flights to Riyadh, Dubai and Beirut due to the current security situation in the Middle East.
In a statement posted on its website on 20 July, Air France said it is “monitoring the situation” in the near and Middle East “in real time” and has suspended the routes because of “restrictions that may affect certain airspaces”.
The airline has now suspended flights to and from Riyadh in Saudi Arabia until 24 July inclusive, while flights to and from Dubai, UAE, are suspended until 27 July. It has also extended the suspension of flights to and from Lebanon’s capital Beirut until 2 August inclusive.
“The resumption of operations will remain subject to an assessment of the security situation on the ground, which is very fluid,” Air France said.
“The company constantly monitors the evolving geopolitical situation in the territories served and overflown by its aircraft in order to ensure the highest level of flight safety and security.”
