KLM will not fly between Amsterdam and Dubai for the rest of its winter timetable, with the suspension lasting through 27 March 2027. Flights to Riyadh and Dammam are cancelled through 27 November 2026, the airline announced on 26 October.

A longer suspension for Dubai

The previous, corrected announcement suspended Dubai flights through 24 October and Riyadh and Dammam flights through 31 October. The extension is particularly substantial for Dubai. The stated end dates do not confirm that flights will resume the following day.

What this means for your booking

KLM will notify passengers whose flights have been cancelled. Check your current itinerary and the options offered in My Trip. If you booked through a travel agent, contact that provider.
