  "summary": "Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has temporarily suspended its flights to Riyadh due to the situation in the Middle East. The airline has advised passengers to contact its call centre to confirm the latest status of their flights.\n\nAccording to Fortune, at least 124 flights to and from Riyadh were canceled, with hundreds more canceled a day earlier. Other airlines, including Air India and Lufthansa Group, have also suspended flights to Riyadh.\n\nThe suspension of flights comes after attacks on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport and a Saudia aircraft, which killed three Saudi citizens, including an airline pilot, and wounded several people of different nationalities, as reported by Fortune.",
