KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA March 4, 2026 – Malaysia Airlines has announced the temporary resumption of return services to and from Jeddah (JED) and Madinah (MED) from March 4 to 8, 2026.
The national carrier had suspended these services since February 28, 2026, due to airspace closures in parts of the Middle East.
