Saudi Arabia flight update: India-bound services resume from Riyadh, Indian Embassy says

Limited flight operations have resumed at Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport, with India-bound Flynas services among those resuming. The Indian Embassy in Riyadh confirmed that Saudi carriers are still operating flights to India from Dammam, Jeddah and Medina.

Travel advisory from the embassy asks Indian nationals to stay in contact with their airlines and verify flight status before heading to the airport, noting that flight availability and schedules may change. Passengers should confirm bookings and departure details directly with their respective airlines.

The embassy also reported the repatriation of an Indian national who died in the Dammam area, stating that necessary assistance was provided to facilitate the return. No further details about the case are provided in the material.

Saudi authorities have issued warnings against filming or sharing images of missile interceptions and impact sites, citing potential legal liability. Residents are advised to follow official instructions and seek safety through the National Early Warning Platform for Emergencies as needed.

The Consulate General of India in Jeddah is assisting stranded Umrah pilgrims affected by flight cancellations, coordinating with Saudi authorities, Indian airlines and service providers to address delays, visa concerns, refunds and alternative travel arrangements. 24-hour control rooms are in place in Jeddah and Makkah to support affected nationals.
