Air India extends temporary suspension of flights to Saudi Arabia until Oct 24 amid Houthi attacks

Air India and Air India Express are offering refunds and date changes as Houthi attacks keep Saudi airspace disruptions in place.

  • On Saturday, Air India and Air India Express extended temporary flight suspensions to Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dammam in Saudi Arabia until October 24 due to escalating geopolitical tensions from Houthi rebels' strikes.
  • The October 10 attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh triggered the disruptions, with the death toll rising to 13 after the Indian Embassy in Riyadh confirmed an Indian national's death.
  • IndiGo and Akasa Air have also temporarily suspended operations in Saudi Arabia as the conflict escalates throughout West Asia, affecting regional travel and airline schedules.
  • Passengers with bookings through October 25 are eligible for a one-time complimentary date change up to November 10 or a full refund, with rebooking available to alternative GCC destinations.
  • Yemen's internationally recognized government accused the Houthi militia on Friday of targeting Aden International Airport with two missiles, further escalating regional tensions and complicating aviation security across West Asia.
