Air France-KLM said on Monday that flights to several Middle Eastern destinations operated by Air France, one of the group's airlines, will remain suspended due to security risks.

Flights to and from Dubai and Riyadh will remain suspended until March 12, while services to Tel Aviv and Beirut are on hold until March 13.

The airline emphasized that passenger and crew safety is its top priority and said it will reassess operations before resuming flights.

The extension comes as tensions in the Middle East continue to rise following recent military escalations involving the United States, Israel, and Iran.
