أَعْلَنَ مَطَارُ الْمَلِكِ خَالِدٍ فِي الرِّيَاضِ عَنْ تَشْغِيلِ رِحْلَاتٍ دَاخِلِيَّةٍ وَدَوْلِيَّةٍ يَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ، ٢٥ أُكْتُوبَرَ ٢٠٢٦. وَجَاءَ هٰذَا الْقَرَارُ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ الِاضْطِرَابِ فِي حَرَكَةِ الطَّيَرَانِ.

وَخُصِّصَتِ الصَّالَةُ الْأُولَى لِلرِّحْلَاتِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، وَالثَّانِيَةُ لِرِحْلَاتٍ دَوْلِيَّةٍ تُشَغِّلُهَا شَرِكَاتٌ سُعُودِيَّةٌ. وَطَلَبَ الْمَطَارُ مِنَ الْمُسَافِرِينَ أَنْ يَسْأَلُوا شَرِكَاتِ الطَّيَرَانِ عَنْ مَوَاعِيدِ رِحْلَاتِهِمْ قَبْلَ الذَّهَابِ إِلَى الْمَطَارِ.

وَتَأَثَّرَتِ الرِّحْلَاتُ بَعْدَ هَجَمَاتٍ فِي السُّعُودِيَّةِ فِي أَوَائِلِ أُكْتُوبَرَ. وَقَالَتْ جَمَاعَةُ الْحُوثِيِّينَ فِي الْيَمَنِ إِنَّهَا نَفَّذَتْ بَعْضَ هٰذِهِ الْهَجَمَاتِ. وَبَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ، عَادَتْ بَعْضُ الرِّحْلَاتِ إِلَى الْمَطَارِ بِقُيُودٍ، قَبْلَ هٰذَا الْقَرَارِ الْجَدِيدِ.

Riyadh Airport Resumes Domestic and International Flights

King Khalid Airport in Riyadh announced domestic and international flights on Sunday, October 25, 2026. The decision came after days of disruption to air travel.

Terminal 1 was assigned to domestic flights, and Terminal 2 to international flights operated by Saudi airlines. The airport asked travelers to check their flight times with their airlines before going to the airport.

Flights were disrupted after attacks in Saudi Arabia in early October. Yemen’s Houthi movement said it carried out some of these attacks. Some flights had returned to the airport under restrictions before this new decision.
