Flydubai has officially prolonged the suspension of its flight services to several Saudi Arabian cities, including Riyadh, Dammam, and Abha, through October 29. The Dubai-based airline confirmed that these cancellations, originally slated to end on October 24, are a direct result of ongoing security threats and persistent Houthi attacks targeting infrastructure within the Kingdom. A spokesperson for the carrier noted that they are keeping a close watch on the volatile situation and urged travelers to stay informed via official channels to avoid travel disruptions.

This decision reflects a broader trend of aviation instability in the region, which has seen thousands of departures grounded over the past few weeks. Following recent attacks on key aviation hubs like King Fahd International Airport, major airlines have been forced to re-evaluate their schedules to ensure passenger safety. With nearly half of all scheduled flights out of Saudi Arabia facing cancellations during mid-October, the aviation sector remains in a state of high alert as airlines like Etihad and IndiGo continue to adjust their operations in response to the evolving security environment.
