Citing safety concerns amid the conflict and unrest caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran, KLM has cancelled all flights to and from Dubai, Riyadh, and Dammam until May 17.
KLM released a statement yesterday afternoon to inform customers about the change of plans.
The airline has coordinated with the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs in recent weeks to repatriate stranded travellers in the region.
Alas, commercial flights are, for now, off the table.
What can you do?
If the cancellations affect your travel plans, you can still get your money back.
According to yesterday’s statement, affected passengers can “change their flight or request a refund on the KLM website.”
It seems, for now, that travel will be disrupted until the airline can guarantee the safety of passengers and crew.
For more information on KLM’s flights in the region, you can check out their Travel Alert page.
