King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh partially resumed operations on October 25 after a two-week shutdown triggered by Houthi missile and drone attacks that began in mid-October. Saudi carriers such as Saudia and flynas have restarted domestic and select international routes under General Authority of Civil Aviation prior-permission rules, with limited flights to destinations including London, Dubai, and Cairo by late October. Most foreign airlines have deferred returns until November or later amid ongoing Houthi warnings that the facility remains a military target and U.S. cautions about escalation risks. Riyadh Air has shifted some operations to Al-Qassim Airport. Trader sentiment reflects these security constraints and gradual ramp-up, with full restoration of higher daily departure volumes dependent on sustained threat reduction and airline scheduling decisions in the coming weeks.
