MONTREAL — Air Canada is once again extending its suspension of its Dubai and Tel Aviv flights.

The latest update has Air Canada suspending DXB flights until March 28 inclusive.

Meanwhile Air Canada’s  TLV flights are now suspended until May 2 inclusive.

After initially suspending its Dubai flights until March 3, and Israel until March 8 – both announced Feb. 28 at the outbreak of the Middle East war – days later Air Canada extended the suspensions until March 22 inclusive.

“Due to the military situation in the Middle East, all flights to and from Dubai (DXB) and Tel Aviv (TLV) remain suspended. If you are in either of these regions, please do not head to the airport. Your safety is our top priority,” said Air Canada.
