[SINGAPORE] Scoot has cancelled more flights between Singapore and Jeddah until Mar 28 amid continuing unrest in the Middle East.
The airline, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), said in an advisory on its website on Tuesday (Mar 17) that flights TR596 (Singapore to Jeddah) and TR597 (Jeddah to Singapore) have been cancelled due to “the geopolitical situation in the Middle East”.
The flights had been previously suspended in earlier advisories on Mar 6 and Mar 10.
SIA has also cancelled flights to the Middle East. On Mar 1, a total of 26 SIA and Scoot flights between Feb 28 and Mar 7 were cancelled after the United States and Israel carried out strikes on targets in Iran.
On Mar 5, SIA announced that it would further suspend flights between Singapore and Dubai until Mar 15. The cancellations were extended to Mar 28 in an update on Mar 11.
“Customers affected by the flight cancellations may request a full refund if they choose not to continue with their travel, or they may choose to rebook on alternative Scoot flights,” Scoot said.
