AEGEAN Airlines is responding to the escalating situation in the Middle East by announcing additional flight cancellations to and from a number of key destinations in the region, including Israel, Iraq, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. This decision affects various flight routes, with cancellations in place for flights to and from Dubai and Abu Dhabi until March 6, 2026, and for flights to Jeddah and Riyadh until March 7, 2026. The cancellations extend to flights to Tel Aviv, Beirut, Erbil, and Baghdad until early on March 10, 2026.

Affected travelers are being notified by AEGEAN or the agencies that issued their tickets regarding their available options due to the disruptions. Passengers will have the choice of receiving a full refund for their flights or a credit voucher for future travel. Additionally, they can change their travel dates without incurring further costs, providing some degree of flexibility during this uncertain period.

This action highlights the airline's prioritization of passenger safety amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and reflects broader trends in the aviation industry where airlines are forced to adjust their services in response to regional instability, emphasizing the need for travelers to stay informed on their flight statuses.
