Gulf carriers halt Riyadh flights
Gulf Air and Etihad Airways, the Emirati and Abu Dhabi-based airlines, announced the suspension of their flights to and from Riyadh Airport until October 17, 2026, due to the recent attacks targeting King Khalid International Airport in the past few days. The suspension continues because the airport's systems, including radar and communication devices, were damaged, and the passenger lounges suffered significant damage. Saudi authorities confirmed the extension of the suspension until at least Thursday to conduct safety investigations into the facilities. These developments come after attacks claimed by the Houthis that resulted in casualties, along with other strikes targeting Abha and Riyadh airports during the week.
