Halt of King Khalid Airport Disrupts Aviation Movement in Riyadh

Follow-ups — Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

Websites specialized in tracking flights reported a halt of operations at King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on Wednesday, in conjunction with escalating disruptions in air navigation movement inside Saudi Arabia.

The halt of the airport came following a series of Yemeni operations that hit King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, Abha International Airport, and Khamis Mushait Air Base, at a time when warnings directed to airlines regarding the use of Saudi airspace continue.

The Sana’a forces had warned international airlines against operating flights through Saudi airspace, with the exception of the airspace of Mecca and Medina, against the backdrop of the military operations it carries out against targets in the Saudi depth.

This coincided with international airlines suspending their flights to Riyadh and Dammam, while the US issued warnings to its citizens about the risks of travel disruption and the possibility of the airspace being closed, amid the continuation of the escalation and the targeting of vital Saudi facilities.
