Saudi Arabia Under Siege! Foreign Airlines ABANDON Riyadh As Houthi Attacks Spark Aviation Crisis

International airlines are extending flight suspensions to Saudi Arabia as repeated Houthi attacks on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport deepen concerns over the security of Saudi airspace. Air France-KLM has pushed its Riyadh suspension through the end of October, while Lufthansa Group has cancelled services until October 16. Air India has extended its suspension until October 17 and Gulf Air is halting Riyadh flights between October 12 and 17. Some disruptions extend much further: Cathay Pacific has postponed the return of its Hong Kong-Riyadh service until January 31, 2027, while Delta has delayed its planned Atlanta-Riyadh launch until March. The cancellations follow repeated attacks on Saudi aviation infrastructure and Houthi warnings that airlines should avoid the kingdom’s airports and airspace. The growing disruption creates a challenge for Saudi Arabia’s efforts to expand tourism and international aviation: convincing global carriers that flying into the kingdom is safe enough to resume.
