Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport is set to resume flights after a two-week closure tied to attacks by Yemen’s Houthis on the Saudi capital. Al-Monitor reports flight operations restarting, with flight monitoring indicating a departure early Sunday, and Bloomberg also frames the reopening as a planned return to service.
Several outlets also describe the airport’s response to security concerns. Middle East Eye and Reuters via Al-Monitor/ARTICLE 7 say the airport designates Terminal 1 for domestic flights and Terminal 2 for international flights, effective from Sunday, after the suspension earlier this month. In parallel, the Houthis renew warnings to airlines, airport staff, and travellers not to use the airport, with the group’s spokesman reiterating that it remains a “military target” and that operations targeting it will continue.
The main differences across coverage are in emphasis and practical impact. Times of India highlights that some airlines, including Air India and Air India Express, suspend services as a precaution, while other reports focus more on the terminal changes and the renewed warning. None of the provided summaries offer confirmed details on additional strikes on Sunday itself beyond the broader context of ongoing attacks.
