Saudi Arabia's second-busiest airport is to remain closed until October 17, following recent fatal attacks attributed to Yemen's Houthi rebels. The civil aviation authority said the extension is needed to check the airport's safety and operational readiness. Airlines like Lufthansa and Air France have cancelled or postponed flights to Riyadh, with Delta delaying a new route until March 2027.
