Customers can rebook free of charge up to 60 days from the original date of travel

Those who rebook more than 60 days from the original date will have to pay any difference in fares.

Dubai-based carrier Flydubai has suspended or cancelled flights to 10 more countries amid travel restrictions and concerns caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the airline announced on Monday.

In a statement, the airline said that flights to Bahrain would be cancelled to Bahrain until March 31, while flights to Kuwait are cancelled through March 19.

Flights to Beirut, Iraq and Jordan are suspended from Tuesday, March 17.

On its website, the airline noted that customers who have had to cancel can rebook – free of charge – up to 60 days from the original date of travel. Those who rebook more than 60 days from the original date will have to pay any difference in fares.

For both options, customers will need to rebook flights before March 31.

Similarly, those who wish to change travel plans will need to rebook flights before March 31. Those who do so after will be subject to normal fare rules.

The move follows a similar one by Emirates, which earlier this week announced that it would be suspending flights to 30 destinations.

A spokesperson for Emirates said: “we have implemented fee waivers for changes to bookings made on or before March 31, 2020, and are offering bonus tier miles and reduced tier travel requirement to help Skywards members retain their status.”
