Disruptions to flights from Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport and Abha International Airport persisted on Thursday morning, following Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia the previous day. This latest disruption follows a broader regional uncertainty, with numerous international airlines reducing or suspending services in the Middle East.
Flydubai canceled its Dubai to Abha flights, while Air Arabia halted services between Sharjah and Abha, with resumption expected on Friday. British Airways discontinued flights to Jeddah on April 24, part of a wider cutback in Middle East operations, and is set to resume a reduced service to Riyadh on November 3, running one daily flight. Cathay Pacific extended its suspension of flights to Riyadh until January 31.
KLM suspended all flights to Riyadh and Dammam until October 24, and pledged to steer clear of Iran, Iraq, Israel, and several Gulf regions' airspaces. Air France halted flights to Riyadh until October 24. Scoot, a Singapore Airlines-owned low-cost carrier, temporarily suspended flights between Singapore and Jeddah until December 2.
