Riyadh airport reopens to international flights after Houthi attack closure

Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport has resumed international flights after a two-week closure due to Houthi attacks from Yemen. Despite ongoing security concerns, flights have restarted, with Terminal 2 now handling international services. The reopening follows Saudi authorities’ interception of a ballistic missile and drones near Riyadh, highlighting the continuing threat environment. The airport’s partial operational status suggests a step towards normalcy, though the risk of further disruptions remains. This development is likely to influence market perceptions regarding the likelihood of a broader Saudi airspace closure.
