Airlines cancel flights to Saudi Arabia after Riyadh airport attacks
More than 500 flights were cancelled as airlines across Europe and Asia suspended services while safety checks continued, aviation trackers and carriers said.
- 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.
