Singapore Airlines will be suspending services to Cairo in Egypt and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.
The last flight to Riyadh will be operated on Sept 28, and the last flight to Cairo will be operated on Sept 30.
In a statement, SIA says the difficult decision to suspend services was taken as the result of sustained weak performance of both routes.
Customers holding confirmed tickets prior to today for travel to and from the two cities will be eligible for refunds without administrative fees or penalties.
SIA says this will also apply to KrisFlyer redemption tickets.
The flag carrier says efforts will be made to contact affected customers to offer alternative travel options.
Airlines routinely review their flight operations and pull routes that don't perform well.
According to analysts, SIA has focused more on medium-haul flights to China, India, Japan and Australia in recent months.
