FAA warns US airlines of flight risks over Saudi Arabia
The FAA warns US airlines of aviation risks over Saudi Arabia following deadly strikes on Riyadh airport, citing military activity and navigation interference.
In a move to aid citizens stranded due to flight cancellations, the Saudi consulate in Dubai has provided buses for transportation to Saudi Arabia. The announcement came after several airlines, including Emirates, Etihad, and flydubai, cancelled services to Riyadh, Jeddah, and King Khalid International Airport following attacks.
King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and King Fahd International Airport in Dammam were both targeted, resulting in 13 fatalities and 309 injuries. The consulate's initiative garnered support from Emiratis, who expressed their openness to Saudi travellers, describing them as family and brothers. The disruption to air travel has prompted several airlines to cancel routes to Riyadh, with some flights rescheduled until October 14.
