  "summary": "The FAA has warned U.S. airlines regarding flight risks over Saudi Arabia following attacks at Riyadh airport that have disrupted travel. CNBC and CNBC World report that Delta is currently weighing an Oct. 23 launch.\n\nSeparately, Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman announced at the World Petroleum Congress in Riyadh that Saudi Arabia plans to expand its pipeline crude export capacity to as much as 10 million barrels per day. According to Investing.com, the kingdom could add up to 1.2 million barrels per day of oil export capacity within seven to eight weeks by temporarily repurposing a domestic gas pipeline for crude shipments.\n\nThe minister stated that the pipeline could be used for oil transport until May before being cleaned and returned to gas service. Investing.com reports that further investments and upgrades to pumping stations on the East-West pipeline could help lift the kingdom's capacity to divert shipments from main maritime Gulf and Red Sea routes to approximately 10 million barrels per day over the next two to three years.",
