Lufthansa, SWISS and Austrian keep Dammam and Beirut flights suspended until 30 November
Lufthansa, SWISS and Austrian Airlines have suspended their flights to Dammam in Saudi Arabia and to Beirut until 30 November 2026, according to the Lufthansa Group's information page on its Middle East flight offer, last updated on 28 October 2026. The same page shows Muscat suspended by all three airlines until 27 March 2027.
Eurowings is listed separately. Its Beirut flights resumed on 1 July 2026, Erbil on 3 November and Amman on 7 November, and Jeddah is shown as resuming on 12 November 2026, while its Abu Dhabi service is suspended until further notice for operational reasons. The page also says Lufthansa's Frankfurt–Amman resumption has been postponed to a date still to be determined, following new requirements from the German authorities, and that Brussels Airlines operates to Tel Aviv once a week, on Wednesdays.
The changes matter to travellers holding Lufthansa Group bookings to these cities during the first weeks of the winter schedule, who may need to change dates or travel with another carrier.
The page states that changes may occur and will be communicated accordingly, and it does not explain the reasons for most suspensions or say whether the November dates could be extended again. It does not set out rebooking terms itself, referring instead to the group's schedule change and irregularity policy. Passengers should check their booking directly with their airline before travelling.
Check the operator's latest conditions before booking or travelling.
