Dubai, Riad … Air France suspends its flights to certain Gulf countries due to the conflict in the Middle East

The airline has decided to temporarily eliminate its flights to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

No more flights to Dubai and Riad until again notice. The Air France service of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates is suspended at least until Monday included due to the conflict in the Middle East, we learned from the airline.

Upon entering Sunday, this suspension extends at least until Monday, according to the same source. It refers to a rotation per day from Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle, respectively towards the Emiratie of Mégalopoolis and the Saudi capital.

Air France had announced ten days ago the suspension of its flights between Paris and Tel Aviv.

Conflict consequences in the Middle East

On Sunday, British Airways had canceled its flights between London Heathrow and those of Dubai and Doha, after the United States of nuclear sites in Iran.

This entry to the conflict, launched a week before by Israel against Iran, has generated fears of reprisals against US interests in the Middle East, in particular military bases located in the Gulf monarchies.

The direct link between Paris and Riad was released last May by Air France, first with three flights per week, then five flights per week since June 2.
