Sister carrier KLM

According to the same round-up, KLM’s Riyadh and Dammam flights are suspended until Nov. 27, and Dubai until March 27, 2027. KLM’s Tel Aviv service has resumed via Larnaca.

Conflicting dates

Gulf News’ same-day tracker lists Air France’s Riyadh suspension only until Nov. 14, while The National and House of Saud give Dec. 12. Treat the Riyadh date as uncertain and check airfrance.com before travelling.

What it means for non-revs

Paris–Dubai on Air France is expected to return after Nov. 11. The first flights after a restart can carry passengers rebooked from cancelled days, so check loads carefully before listing on the first few departures.
Riyadh is not an option on Air France until at least mid-December, and not on KLM until at least Nov. 27.
KLM to Dubai stays off until late March 2027, so an Air France–KLM routing to DXB means Paris only.
Tel Aviv and Beirut are back on the Air France network.
