Current Situation at Riyadh Airport After Attack: Flights Disrupted, Passengers Urged to Check Schedules
King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is facing some operational hiccups after it was hit by an attack on Saturday (10/10/2026). The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) said the incident left 12 people dead and 309 others injured.
The attack, linked to a group from Yemen, forced a temporary shutdown of airport operations so security and facility checks could be carried out. As of Sunday (11/10/2026) morning, whether the airport is fully open again still needs official confirmation.
This mess has affected a bunch of flights. Early reports mention dozens, maybe even over 200 flights, were canceled or redirected to other airports. Passengers are being told to keep a close eye on the latest info from airlines and the airport management before heading to Riyadh.
