Air France said Monday it is extending the suspension of its flights to and from Beirut until Aug. 2 and temporarily halting services to Riyadh and Dubai because of the security situation in the Near and Middle East.
"The resumption of operations will remain subject to an assessment of the security situation locally, which is rapidly evolving," the airline said in a statement, referring to ongoing hostilities between the United States and Iran that are also affecting other countries in the region.
Air France said flights to and from Riyadh will remain suspended until July 24, and until July 25 for departures from Riyadh.
Flights to and from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates will be suspended until July 27, and until July 28 for departures from Dubai.
The airline said affected passengers are being informed individually.
Air France said it had introduced commercial measures allowing customers to cancel or postpone their trips without additional charge, even if their flights have not been canceled.
The airline reiterated that "the safety of its customers and crews is its utmost priority."
It said it continues to monitor the geopolitical situation and airspace restrictions across the region to ensure flight safety and security.
