Singapore Airlines and its budget carrier Scoot have extended the suspension of flights from Singapore to Dubai and Jeddah until February 2027 due to Middle East tensions.
SIA’s flights from Singapore to Dubai have been cancelled until Feb. 28, the national carrier said in an advisory.
Affected customers can seek a full refund of the unused portion of their tickets, either through the airline or other agents where made bookings through, The Straits Times reported.

Scoot has extended the cancellation of its flights between Singapore and Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah to February.
Tensions in the region have escalated following the Iran-allied Houthis’s strikes on various sites in Saudi Arabia, including airports and oil sites.
The war began in February when the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. It entered its eighth month this week with both sides still locked in a stalemate, neither making progress diplomatically nor able to break the military impasse, CNN reported.
