Scoot Cancels Its Singapore to Jeddah Flights Until February 28, 2027

Scoot has canceled its Singapore to Jeddah flights, TR796 and TR797, until February 28, 2027, the airline said in an advisory last updated on November 2, 2026, at 3 p.m. Singapore time. The previous end date was December 2, 2026.

The move lines Scoot up with its parent. Singapore Airlines canceled its Dubai flights, SQ494 and SQ495, to the same date on October 30, when Scoot’s Jeddah notice had not yet changed.

What the advisory says

The notice covers TR796 from Singapore to Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz airport and the return TR797. Scoot again cites “the geopolitical situation in the Middle East” and gives no other reason, and the advisory does not name a restart date.

Jeddah is the only route on Scoot’s current list of advisories tied to the Middle East. The change was reported by The Straits Times, which described the route as a thrice-weekly service.

Refunds, and what is not on offer

Scoot says affected customers may request a full refund if they choose not to continue their travel. Direct bookings ask for it by email through Scoot’s contact page, while tickets bought through a travel agent or partner airline go back to that agent or airline.

The advisory does not mention rebooking. Travelers who would rather fly later, or on another routing, should ask Scoot before accepting a refund, since the notice makes no promise either way.

Some carriers serving Jeddah from India spell out more. Akasa Air, which has suspended Jeddah until November 18, offers a refund or a free change, and Air India offers a one-time free rebooking on its Saudi flights, which are suspended until November 14.

Scoot also asks customers to keep their contact details current in Manage My Booking, or to sign up for flight-status notifications. Given how often this date has moved, that matters most for anyone holding a ticket for early March.

A route that has barely flown this year

If the new date holds, TR796 will have flown for about three weeks in the 12 months since it was first canceled. The flights were canceled from February 28, 2026, after US and Israeli strikes on Iran, and came back on June 22, The Straits Times reported at the time.

That return followed a 60-day interim US and Iran peace deal signed on June 17. It lasted until July 13, and the current advisory was first posted on July 14, when the route was pulled again.

The first end date after that, July 27, was reported by Mainly Miles. It has slid repeatedly since, to December 2 by the end of September and now to the end of February, a push of nearly three months.

An April 18 restart had also been planned and dropped before the June return, according to the same Straits Times report. The pattern is the one Singapore Airlines has followed on Dubai: both routes slipped to December within a day of each other at the turn of October.

Why Saudi Arabia remains off the map

Singapore’s foreign ministry has advised its citizens since October 13 to defer all travel to Saudi Arabia. It cites a rise in missile and drone attacks on civilian aviation and energy sites since July, with airports in Riyadh, Abha, Dammam, Khamis Mushait, Najran and Jizan hit.

Jeddah is not on that list, but the advice covers the whole country. The ministry also warns that airspace shutdowns have become more frequent, and that anyone who must travel should be ready for disruption at short notice.

The cancellation also reaches Singapore’s Umrah pilgrims. A day after the ministry’s advisory, Singapore’s Islamic Religious Council, MUIS, advised anyone planning Umrah to consider postponing, and asked travel agents to help pilgrims reschedule, Mothership reported.

For Scoot’s passengers, the practical upshot is simple. Scoot’s nonstop will not return before March 2027 at the earliest, and the advisory itself is the place to watch for the next change.
