Delta Pushes Back Saudi Arabia Flights to March 2027

Delta Air Lines has announced a postponement of all scheduled flights to and from Saudi Arabia, citing ongoing security risks stemming from persistent Houthi attacks targeting King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. The airline’s decision follows extensive assessments of the situation at the airport, which remains vulnerable to these attacks. Consequently, Delta is now anticipating that its first flights to Saudi Arabia will not commence until March 2027. This delay represents a significant setback for travelers seeking routes through the Kingdom. Delta stated they are continuously monitoring developments and prioritizing passenger safety above all else.
