Flights resumed at Riyadh’s international airport on Sunday following a series of deadly attacks on the facility that saw it closed for two weeks, even as Yemen’s Houthis targeted the country with strikes.
King Khalid International Airport’s website showed several domestic and international flights scheduled on Sunday, including arrivals to the kingdom from Dubai, Paris and Cairo.
The renewed operations at the airport came as explosions rattled Riyadh early Sunday, after a text message was sent to residents warning of a hostile threat targeting the city. The airport closure was a major blow for Saudi Arabia, with the kingdom’s flagship investment conference postponed until 2027 as residents scrambled to find alternatives to enter and exit the country. The prestigious motor sport race, the Dakar Rally, also added its name to a long list of events to be cancelled, postponed or relocated amid the fallout from the war. Saudi officials did not provide additional information when asked by AFP about the scope of the renewed operations at the airport.
