Singapore Airlines is operating its global network from Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) as of 7 September 2026, with its Dubai service still suspended.
SIA’s official advisory says SQ494/SQ495 between Singapore and Dubai are cancelled until 24 October 2026. The SIA Group also says Scoot’s Jeddah service is suspended and SIA’s Riyadh launch has been deferred to December 2026.
Is Singapore Airlines Operating Right Now?
Yes. Singapore Airlines continues to operate long-haul and regional services outside the affected Middle East routes.
SIA’s Dubai suspension covers SQ494 and SQ495; Scoot’s Jeddah suspension covers TR796 and TR797. Neither published cancellation end date guarantees a restart the following day.
Which Singapore Airlines Routes Are Operating?
SIA continues to serve its main Asia-Pacific, European, Australian, and American network from Singapore. SIA’s published schedule includes daily Singapore-Manchester services and 10 weekly Singapore-Amsterdam services through 22 October 2026.
| Region | Examples of operating SIA routes |
|---|---|
| Southeast Asia | Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Manila, Denpasar |
| East and South Asia | Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Delhi, Mumbai |
| Europe | London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, Zurich |
| Australia and Americas | Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, San Francisco, New York JFK |
Some Europe-bound or Middle East-adjacent routings may still take longer if airlines avoid risk areas. Build connection buffers into itineraries.
