  "summary": "Delta Air Lines has postponed its Atlanta–Riyadh flights from October to March 2027 due to regional tensions. According to Arabian Business, the airline is offering refunds and rebooking options for those affected.\n\nSeparately, the Ministry of Civil Aviation has directed Adani Airport Holdings Ltd to defer the relocation of international flight operations from Mumbai airport to Navi Mumbai International Airport until March 2027. The Hindustan Times reports that the ministry issued this directive following a meeting involving civil aviation secretary Samir Kumar Sinha and representatives from the Airports Authority of India, the Federation of Indian Airlines, and airlines including IndiGo, Air India, and Akasa Air.\n\nThe proposed shift originally intended to move 265 weekly international flights from Terminal 2 starting October 25 to accommodate domestic traffic during a phased redevelopment of Terminal 1. Airlines characterized the previous relocation timelines as unachievable, noting that the airport owner had moved forward with the decision without consultation.",
