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.\nMrs Pelosi was the highest-ranking US politician to visit Taiwan in 25 years, prompting China to condemn the visit and retaliate with economic and military responses.\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the flight cancellations, Scoot said it would be rendering assistance to affected passengers.\n\n\"For bookings made through travel agents or partner airlines, customers are advised to contact their travel agent or purchasing airline for assistance,\" said the spokesman.\n\"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.\nScoot operates three direct flights from Singapore to Taipei every week – on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.\nThe 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.\nThe other two flights which fly from Singapore to Taipei, operated by Taiwan's EVA Air and China Air, are still scheduled to depart Singapore on Friday afternoon.\nA member of EVA Air's ticketing staff confirmed with The Straits Times that its flights to Taipei are still scheduled to depart on Friday and Sunday. The airline flies the route five days a week, with no flights operating on Saturdays and Mondays.\nMissiles fired by China landed in waters off the north-eastern and south-western coasts of Taiwan on Thursday, with five of the missiles landing in the sea within Japan's exclusive economic zone.\nThis story is developing.\n\n\n\n\n\nMore On This Topic\n\n \n\nChinese drills a simulation of Taiwan blockade and future invasion, say experts\n\n\n\n \n\nChinese drills around Taiwan may signal more to come: Experts","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2257315575"}
