"Due to the ongoing situation in the region, including increasing risks to critical infrastructure and overall airspace safety, Philippine Airlines flights to Doha and Dubai have been cancelled until June 30 and August 2, respectively," PAL said. "Safety remains our top priority. With unpredictable conditions - including restricted airspace, sudden closures, and limited routing options - PAL is taking a more cautious approach based on its safety assessment, recognising that operating conditions may vary by airline." PAL recommenced flying to Riyadh last month. Passengers impacted by the cancellations were offered refunds, the option to rebook on to another flight or receiving a travel credit.
