Riyadh Airport faces further flight cancellations amid security escalation

A Houthi missile and drone barrage struck King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, killing at least 12 people according to some reports and 13 according to others, and wounding more than 300, with one source noting over 300 injured and another citing 308 injured in a prior strike.

The attack caused widespread disruption, with up to 60% of scheduled flights cancelled and the airport remaining closed until Monday evening.

Delta announced it will postpone the launch of its nonstop Atlanta‑Riyadh service, originally set for 23 October, to March 2027 as it evaluates options amid the violence.
