Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia faces the risk of sudden escalations and airspace closures due to the volatile regional security environment. King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah) and Riyadh's King Fahd International remain open, but closures can occur with little notice. Verify flight status directly with airlines before traveling, keep bookings flexible, allow extra time for security, and monitor official advisories and the Embassy website closely.
Houthi drone and missile strikes have targeted Abha airport in southern Saudi Arabia, and airlines have been warned to avoid Saudi airspace amid the regional escalation. Expect flight cancellations, diversions, and longer routings across the kingdom. Reconfirm your flight directly with the airline before traveling, keep bookings flexible, avoid the southern border region near Yemen, and monitor airline and government advisories closely.
