Saudia extends flight cancellations until March 4
Airlines and airports urge travellers to check flight status amid wider regional airspace closures and safety measures
Saudia has extended the suspension of flights to and from eight major destinations – Amman, Kuwait, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Bahrain, Moscow and Peshawar – until Wednesday March 4 due to ongoing regional developments affecting Middle East airspace.
The national carrier announced that the cancellations have been extended, citing safety concerns amidst rising tensions.
Affected passengers are being notified directly and advised to check their bookings before travelling to the airport, with Saudia emphasising that passenger and crew safety remains its top priority.
Further flight updates will be issued as the situation develops.
At the same time, King Khalid International Airport (RUH) in Riyadh remains operational despite wider airspace disruptions across the region. Airlines and airport authorities have issued new travel guidelines advising travellers to double-check bookings, terminal assignments, and flight status before heading to the airport to avoid unexpected delays or cancellations.
The disruptions are part of wider flight adjustments and airspace closures across the region, prompting many airlines – including Flynas and Flyadeal – to issue travel updates advising customers to verify their flight details online or via airline apps.
Ongoing regional developments have led to both cancellations and schedule adjustments, with carriers advising travellers to verify their itineraries directly due to temporary airspace restrictions.
Passengers with travel plans to the affected destinations should regularly check airline communications and airport advisories for the latest updates before departure.

Dedicated hotlines are also in place to support GCC citizens stranded due to the ongoing airspace disruptions, with authorities urging passengers to stay connected to official channels for immediate assistance.
