The airline took emergency turnaround and cancellation measures for flights KE951 and KE952 starting Feb. 28 after the outbreak of war in the Middle East.
Before the airstrikes on Iran, Korean Air was the only South Korean carrier operating a Middle East route, flying round-trip to Dubai seven times a week. The suspension had been set to run through March 5, but cancellations have continued as the conflict persists.
Whether service will resume April 20 will be decided later depending on conditions at local airports.
A Korean Air official said the extension was due to airspace restrictions tied to the war involving the United States, Israel and Iran.
