Akasa Air extends Saudi flight suspension through 13 October after airport attack
Akasa Air announced that all flights to Saudi Arabia will remain grounded until 13 October, citing the ongoing security situation after the attack on King Khalid International Airport.
Following the recent strike on King Khalid International Airport, Indian carrier Akasa Air said it will keep its Saudi Arabia services suspended until 13 October. The airline posted the update on X, pointing to the "continuing security situation" in the kingdom as the reason. This follows an earlier pause earlier in the week after Houthi missile attacks targeted Saudi airports.
Why it matters
The suspension highlights how regional security threats can disrupt international air travel and affect airline revenues.
