Which Singapore Airlines flights between Dubai and Singapore are affected?

The current notice names these two flight numbers:

SQ494

Singapore (SIN) to Dubai (DXB)

SQ495

Dubai (DXB) to Singapore (SIN)

Singapore Airlines says these services are cancelled until 1 December 2026 because of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East. The notice also says other Singapore Airlines flights may be affected. It does not say that every airline’s Dubai flights, or every Singapore Airlines flight, is cancelled.

Important: “Cancelled until 1 December” does not confirm that the route will restart on 2 December. Check the airline’s latest flight status and booking information before making plans.

What should affected passengers do?

  1. Check your exact flight and date. Search the flight number on the Singapore Airlines Flight Status page and review your itinerary. If your trip has a connection, check every segment.
  2. Check your booking messages. Review your email and SMS, then use Manage Booking to confirm that the airline has your current contact details and to see the latest booking information.
  3. Ask about your ticket options. Singapore Airlines says affected customers may seek a full refund of the unused portion of their ticket. If you booked directly with the airline, use its assistance request form. If an agent or partner airline issued your ticket, contact that seller for help.
  4. Wait for confirmation before going to the airport. A search result or old itinerary may not reflect the latest change. Follow the airline’s direct notification and flight-status updates.

The refund described by the airline applies to the unused portion of the ticket. The amount and process can depend on which parts of the itinerary have been used and who issued the ticket, so ask the airline or ticketing agent to confirm your specific booking.
