An explosion occurred at Riyadh Airport on Saturday, prompting an evacuation, and a witness reported hearing the blast while waiting to board a flight; the airport asked passengers to contact their airlines and check flight status before traveling to the airport.
Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways cancelled several flights between their hubs and Riyadh, with some cancellations extending to Monday, and earlier in the week attacks on the airport killed four people, including a pilot, injured several others, damaged an aircraft, and led several airlines to suspend or cancel services before the city hosted major energy and investment conferences.
