Air Canada Middle East flight suspensions

Overview

Air Canada has announced it will delay the resumption of flights to Dubai and Tel Aviv until mid-January 2027. This decision extends a suspension that originally began on February 28 following escalated tensions in the Middle East. The airline cited “ongoing uncertainty regarding airspace safety in the region” as the primary reason for the delay, missing its previously anticipated winter schedule. To assist travelers, the airline is maintaining a flexible booking policy that allows eligible passengers to change dates, switch destinations, or cancel reservations for future travel credits.
