Indonesian Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi asked airlines to ensure passenger rights after Riyadh airport was closed due to attacks by the Houthi group, which disrupted international flights and caused cancellations and route adjustments.
Qatar Airways cancelled Doha‑Riyadh flights from 9 to 17 October 2026 and Emirates cancelled flights to and from Riyadh, while Garuda Indonesia and Saudia continued operating normally; airlines are required to provide information and staff to passengers during delays in line with PM 30/2021 on Minimum Service Standards.
Why it matters
The directive means airlines must allocate resources to inform and assist affected travelers, impacting operational planning and compliance costs.
