Those who booked directly through the airline can use its online assistance request form to seek a refund. Customers who booked through travel agents or partner airlines are advised to contact their travel agent or purchasing airline directly for assistance, said SIA. It also encouraged customers to update their contact details via the "Manage Booking" function on its website or subscribe to its mobile notification service to receive updates to their flight status. Concerns about further escalation in the Middle East have been mounting after Israel threatened to strike Iran and reports that the US could launch new attacks after Tuesday's midterm elections. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had repeatedly vowed to topple the clerical state in Iran before recent elections in his country. US President Donald Trump also signalled an openness to resuming strikes after a long deadlock in diplomacy, although he earlier said it would not happen before US congressional elections on Nov 3. The threats of renewed conflict come as fighting continues between the Iran-backed Houthis and the Saudi-backed, internationally recognised Yemeni government as well. The group has also ramped up attacks on Saudi Arabia, including launching deadly strikes on the Riyadh airport that forced its shuttering for two weeks as flagship events were cancelled, threatening the kingdom's economic diversification plans.

“由于情况仍瞬息万变，新加坡航空的其他航班可能会受到影响，”该航空公司表示，并补充说，乘客可以访问其航班状态页面以获取最新信息。

以色列威胁要打击伊朗，以及有报道称美国可能在周二的中期选举后发动新的袭击，这些都加剧了人们对中东局势进一步升级的担忧。

在以色列最近的选举之前，以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡曾多次誓言要推翻伊朗的神权国家。

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普也表示，在外交僵局长期持续之后，他愿意恢复空袭，尽管他此前曾表示，在11月3日美国国会选举之前不会发生空袭。

在伊朗支持的胡塞武装与沙特阿拉伯支持的、国际公认的也门政府之间持续交战的同时，新一轮冲突的威胁也日益加剧。

该组织还加大了对沙特阿拉伯的袭击力度，包括对利雅得机场发动致命袭击，导致该机场关闭两周，重要活动被迫取消，威胁到沙特王国的经济多元化计划。
