Major carriers from the United Arab Emirates, including Emirates, Etihad Airways, flydubai, and Air Arabia, have grounded flights to and from Riyadh. This disruption follows the temporary closure of King Khalid International Airport after a lethal attack attributed to Houthi rebels. Aviation authorities issued a notice suspending operations at the facility as a security precaution, initially targeting a closure until early Monday. Flight tracking data indicated that hundreds of arrivals and departures were impacted throughout Sunday. While some services are currently listed as scheduled for the beginning of the week, the exact timeline for the full restoration of passenger operations remains uncertain as officials monitor the situation.
