FlyDubai has temporarily cancelled passenger services between Dubai and Kiev on Thursday after Ukraine closed its airspace to civilian flights citing a high risk to safety.

In an updated statement sent to ARN News Centre, a flydubai spokesperson said the suspension will be until March 8. 

The airline added that they "will be in touch with the passengers regarding their refund and rebooking options".

Dubai's Emirates and Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airway do not operate passengers services to Ukraine.
