- King Khalid International Airport remains closed until midnight Tuesday, extending travel disruptions for UAE airlines following a deadly Houthi attack on the facility.
- The airport was attacked on Sunday, a day after a strike claimed by Yemen's Houthis killed 13 people and injured more than 300.
- Flightradar24 listed more than 500 flights to and from Riyadh as cancelled on Monday, with carriers including Emirates, Etihad, flydubai, and Air Arabia halting services.
- "We are closely monitoring the situation," a spokesperson said, advising passengers to confirm flight status directly with their airline before travelling.
- Services will resume once conditions are deemed safe, though the latest notices cite precautionary measures without specifying when full passenger operations will restart.
