Passengers face conflicting public timetables for Dubai as The National reports an Air France suspension until Nov. 11 and ITA Airways lists different dates for its service.
The National reported the Air France Dubai deadline in a Nov. 9 update. It was the only outlet in the reporting to give that date, and no current Air France notice confirming it was identified.
The National and Condé Nast Traveller Middle East reported that Air France flights to Riyadh were suspended through Dec. 12. The National also quoted Air France as saying it was reaching affected customers directly and emphasizing the safety of passengers and crew.
ITA Airways’ English-language current-information notice lists flights to and from Riyadh as suspended until Jan. 7, 2027, citing geopolitical developments. For Dubai, the same notice gives Jan. 30, 2027, as the suspension end date and cites operational reasons. ITA says affected passengers may seek a transfer to another flight or a refund.
The airline’s Italian-language notice instead gives Nov. 30, 2026, inclusive, for the Dubai suspension. Its network page lists Dubai service from Dec. 2, 2026. These public listings do not establish when Dubai flights will resume.
The National has linked wider flight disruption to regional tensions and airspace restrictions.
