Singapore Airlines has today extended its Dubai flight cancellations through February 28, 2027.
Singapore Airlines doesn’t appear to offer rebookings on other airlines, as all responsible airlines would, but is only offering a refund.

Singapore Airlines Notice:
Advisory on Singapore Airlines flights affected by the geopolitical situation in the Middle East
Due to the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, the following Singapore Airlines (SIA) flights will be cancelled until 28 February 2027:
SQ494 departing Singapore for Dubai SQ495 departing Dubai for Singapore
As the situation remains fluid, other SIA flights may be affected. Customers may visit SIA’s Flight Status page for the latest information on their flights.
Customers affected by the flight cancellations can seek a full refund of the unused portion of their ticket. SIA customers who booked directly with us may use our Assistance Request Form to seek the refund. For bookings made through travel agents or partner airlines, customers are advised to contact their travel agent or purchasing airline directly for assistance.
Customers are also strongly advised to update their contact details via the ‘Manage Booking’ function on our website or subscribe to a mobile notification service to receive updates to their flight status.
SIA apologises to all affected customers for the inconvenience caused.
Conclusion
I am not 100% convinced that these recent suspension extensions are due to a “geopolitical” situation in the Gulf, but rather depressed demand from passengers who would otherwise use Singapore Airlines.
But why don’t they do the right thing and rebook passengers on other airlines?
