KLM has cancelled or adjusted flights across the Middle East because of the conflict that erupted in the region over the weekend, avoiding the airspace of Iran, Iraq, Israel and parts of the Gulf, it said on Saturday evening.

The Dutch arm of Air France‑KLM AIRF.PA said that flights to and from Dubai, Dammam and Riyadh due to take off over the weekend have been cancelled.

KLM had already brought forward suspension of its Amsterdam–Tel Aviv service to February 28 after strikes hit Iran.

The carrier said it is monitoring developments closely and will update its schedule as needed and that passengers on affected flights will be rebooked once operations resume.
