SWISS Cancels Dubai Flights Till 2026 - What's Next?

Hey everyone, just read that SWISS has decided to keep their flights to and from Dubai on hold until July 2026. Kinda crazy, right? They were supposed to resume by the end of May next year, but with all the stuff going on in the Middle East, I guess they're playing it safe.

I mean, it makes sense if you think about the current situation over there. Safety first, but still, that's a pretty long extension. I wonder how this is affecting their passengers and the overall travel plans. Dubai is a major hub, after all. What do you guys think? Is this the right move?

Also, what do you think this means for other airlines flying in and out of the region? Are we going to see more suspensions or reroutes? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Yeah, it's a long time to keep a route on hold. But with the geopolitical issues in the area, maybe they're just being cautious. Dubai is such a key hub, so I imagine passengers will have to reroute through different airlines. I wonder if this will push some other airlines to boost their frequency to Dubai to fill the gap. Qatar Airways or Emirates might see a chance to grab some extra traffic. Anyone know if other airlines have hinted at similar suspensions?
