The airline said the decision was taken in response to ongoing regional developments, as well as safety considerations and regulatory requirements.
"SalamAir continues to closely monitor the situation and will provide updates as further information becomes available," the airline said.
The suspension comes a day after security incidents were reported in both Kuwait and Lebanon, prompting heightened concerns over regional stability and the potential impact on aviation operations. Several airlines across the region have been reviewing schedules and routes amid evolving security assessments.
SalamAir did not specify whether affected passengers would be rebooked or offered alternative travel arrangements, but advised customers to follow updates through its official communication channels.
The airline said passenger safety remains its highest priority and that operations would resume once conditions allow and the necessary regulatory approvals are in place.
