Riyadh airport to resume operations at two terminals on Sunday after Houthi attacks

King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh is set to resume operations at Terminals 1 and 2 on Sunday, October 25, after a two-week closure following attacks claimed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

The airport advisory states that Terminal 1 will handle domestic flights, while Terminal 2 will serve international flights operated by Saudi carriers. Passengers with confirmed bookings should verify their flight status with their airlines before heading to the airport.

The Houthis claimed targeting multiple Saudi facilities, including energy infrastructure and aviation sites, and renewed warnings against using Riyadh airport, labeling it a military target. No further operational details are provided about the specific security measures or routes.

Air India and Air India Express have suspended services to Riyadh and Dammam until November 7, with Jeddah services suspended until October 31 due to the evolving security situation. The carriers are offering affected passengers options for rebooking or full refunds.
