On Tuesday, China sent an official notice to airlines operating in Asia to avoid flying in areas around Taiwan. The notice said flights will be restricted from noon on Thursday to noon on Sunday.

Six areas of airspace around Taiwan have been designated as"danger zones" by China.

Following the flight cancellations, Scoot said it would be rendering assistance to affected passengers. "The safety of our customers and staff is our top priority. We apologise for the inconvenience caused and will continue to monitor the situation closely and adjust plans, as necessary," she added. The Scoot cancellations came after Singapore Airlines announced on Thursday that it would be cancelling two flights scheduled on Friday - SQ878 and SQ897 - from Singapore to Taipei, and the returning leg from Taipei to Singapore.
