Scoot extends Singapore–Jeddah cancellations through 28 February 2027

Passengers booked on Scoot's TR796 and TR797 between Singapore Changi Airport and King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah faced an extended suspension through 28 February 2027 because of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East. Singapore Airlines has also extended cancellations of its Singapore–Dubai services, SQ494 and SQ495, through the same date. If you're affected by Scoot's cancellations, you can request a full refund for the unused portion of your ticket by emailing Scoot for direct bookings or contacting your travel agent or partner airline. Compensation isn't expected, but you can still ask about refunds, rebooking options, and any applicable assistance.

Miami and Fort Lauderdale ground stops as 908 flights disrupted across Florida

Travelers across Florida faced 908 delayed or canceled flights on 2 November 2026, with disruption affecting Miami International Airport, Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport, Melbourne Orlando International Airport, and Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers. Thunderstorms prompted ground stops at Miami and Fort Lauderdale, while Melbourne was listed as closed and Fort Myers faced increasing departure delays. JetBlue had 140 delayed flights at Fort Lauderdale, and American Airlines accounted for 40 cancellations at Miami. Compensation is unlikely for these weather-related U.S. domestic disruptions, but if you're affected, you can still ask your airline about refunds, rebooking, and available care and assistance.

IndiGo engine failure cancels Kolkata–Shillong flight, affecting 67 passengers

An engine failure before takeoff led IndiGo to cancel Kolkata–Shillong flight 6E 7423 on 2 November 2026, disrupting travel for 67 passengers in India. Travelers spent about 2 hours on board before the pilot told them a technical problem had prevented departure, leaving their planned journey canceled. The incident prompted MP P Wilson to call for an impartial review of aircraft airworthiness certificates and surprise DGCA safety inspections, though his allegations of wrongdoing haven't been independently verified. If you were affected, compensation may be available under applicable Indian passenger rules, depending on the circumstances, and you can ask IndiGo about refund, rebooking, and support options.

Akasa Air extends Saudi flight suspensions through November

Passengers traveling between India and Saudi Arabia face continuing cancellations as Akasa Air, Air India, Air India Express, and IndiGo suspend services following attacks on Saudi airports and other infrastructure. Akasa Air's Jeddah suspension runs until 18 November 2026 and its Riyadh suspension until 30 November, while the other carriers' affected services remain suspended until 14 November. Indian consular officials are helping affected travelers, especially Umrah pilgrims, arrange alternatives, and some Saudi-operated flights to India are still running. Compensation is generally unlikely because the security incidents are outside airlines' control, but passengers should ask about refunds, rebooking, and applicable care and assistance.

Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight from Narita delayed nearly 5 hours by spoiler fault

Flight BG377, operated by Biman Bangladesh Airlines, left Narita International Airport for Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka 4 hours and 55 minutes behind schedule on 29 October 2026. The Boeing 787-9 carrying Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, Dr Zubaida Rahman, and their delegation developed a spoiler-system fault while taxiing, despite no defects being identified during pre-flight checks. Engineers deactivated the affected spoiler before the aircraft departed at 7:55 pm Bangladesh time, on the first day of Biman’s additional Thursday service. European and UK flight compensation rules don’t cover this route, but passengers can ask Biman about applicable care, refund, and rebooking options.

Ryanair warns of UK flight delays as heavy fog reduces visibility

Heavy fog disrupted some Ryanair services to and from the United Kingdom on 1 November 2026, with passengers advised to check the airline's app for updates and direct notifications. A Met Office yellow warning covered areas including Bristol, London, Birmingham, Nottingham, Hull, Norwich, and Brighton, with visibility potentially falling below 100 meters. Although the warning lasted until 10:00 am, fog patches could linger into the afternoon and also affect journeys to the airport by road or public transportation. Compensation is generally unlikely for these weather-related delays, but you may still be entitled to care and assistance while you wait.

Emirates and Etihad cancel Saudi flights as delays affect UAE airports

Passengers traveling through Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah faced cancellations and delays on 2 November 2026, with Saudi Arabia routes particularly affected by regional tensions and airspace restrictions. Etihad Airways has canceled all Abu Dhabi flights to Dammam, Jeddah, and Riyadh through 5 November, while Emirates, flydubai, and Air Arabia have also canceled services. Dubai International Airport, Al Maktoum International Airport, and Zayed International Airport experienced disruption, although some delays may have operational or technical causes rather than security-related ones. If you're affected, check directly with your airline before traveling: compensation is unlikely for security-related cancellations, but refunds, rebooking, and care may still be available under the rules covering your journey.

Drones disrupt 7 flights at Jersey Airport over 2 nights

Drone incursions at Jersey Airport disrupted 7 arrivals across 30 and 31 October 2026, affecting easyJet, Loganair, and British Airways services. Passengers faced cancellations and diversions, including a Madeira charter sent to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, while an easyJet flight from London Gatwick eventually landed at 11:43 pm after Jersey extended its operating hours. Police are investigating, and Jersey's government is working with UK authorities and specialist agencies to improve drone detection and response. Compensation is unlikely because the security-related disruption was outside airline control, but if your journey was affected, you may still have rights to rebooking, refunds, and care.

If you’re affected, check your booking rather than relying on the published suspension dates alone.

Naples Capodichino Airport closed throughout November 2026

A month-long runway refurbishment will halt every flight at Naples Capodichino Airport from 1 to 30 November 2026, with some services transferring to Salerno Costa d'Amalfi e del Cilento Airport. Part of a €30 million improvement project, the closure will see Salerno handle connections to 15 domestic and international destinations, supported by special buses, more frequent station links, and fixed-fare shared taxis. If you're traveling during November, check your booking and airport transfer arrangements before setting off.

easyJet cancels more than 56 Italy flights ahead of 30 October strike

A national transport strike in Italy on 30 October 2026 has already prompted more than 56 easyJet flight cancellations, while Ryanair is also canceling and rescheduling services. Air traffic controllers will walk out from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, alongside a 24-hour strike by ground handlers and security staff affecting airports nationwide, including Rome Fiumicino Airport and Milan Malpensa Airport. Disrupted rail, metro, bus, and taxi connections could also make reaching the airport harder, so check your booking before traveling. Compensation is unlikely because these strikes are outside the airlines' control, but if your flight is canceled, you're still entitled to a refund or free rebooking, with care available during qualifying waits.

easyJet cabin crew plan Portugal strike from 19 to 23 December

A planned easyJet cabin crew walkout in Portugal from 19 to 23 December 2026 could disrupt services at Lisbon Airport, Porto Airport, and Faro Airport, including routes to and from Europe and the UK. Previous similar action caused more than 400 cancellations. If you're affected by the airline's own crew strike, EC 261 compensation may apply, but canceled flights qualify only when passengers receive less than 14 days' notice and meet the other eligibility conditions. Even when compensation isn't owed, a cancellation still gives you the choice of an alternative flight or a refund, with care available during qualifying waits.

King Khalid International Airport worst hit as 7,802 Saudi departures disrupted

Nearly half of Saudi Arabia's scheduled departures were canceled or classified as no-fly between 8 and 25 October 2026, affecting 7,802 services amid repeated attacks. Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport accounted for 4,071 affected departures and remains heavily restricted despite partially reopening on 25 October after a 2-week shutdown. Lufthansa Group, Air France-KLM, and IndiGo have extended cancellations or restrictions, while Delta Air Lines has delayed its Atlanta–Riyadh launch until March 2027. If your journey's affected, compensation is unlikely because the attacks are outside airlines' control, but refund, rebooking, and care rights may still apply depending on your flight.

Strong winds divert 2 Edinburgh-bound Ryanair flights to Oslo and Manchester

Ryanair passengers traveling to Edinburgh from Faro and Malta faced diversions on 24 October 2026 as Storm Boelo brought strong winds and an amber weather warning to Scotland. The Faro service landed at Oslo Airport, where a minor technical issue caused a further wait before the aircraft was cleared to depart at 12:44 am local time. The Malta flight landed at Manchester Airport, with Ryanair arranging onward transport to Edinburgh that left at 7:15 pm local time. Compensation is unlikely for disruption caused by weather outside the airline's control, but the passengers affected have rights to care and alternative travel arrangements.
