This is everything we know so far…
This past weekend, Saudi Arabia announced that citizens and tourists travelling abroad should be alert when leaving for the airport amid airspace closures in the region. This is what we know about the Saudi Airport travel alert.
Several countries in the Middle East have closed their airspace, resulting in travel disruptions, including flight cancellations. As such, airports in the Kingdom have issued a warning to passengers to avoid delays or flight changes.

According to Arab News, King Khalid International Airport Riyadh, King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah, King Fahd International Airport, Dammam and Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport, Madinah, said: “In the interest of your safety and comfort and due to the current developments in some countries in the region, travelers heading to destinations affected by airspace closures are kindly advised to contact their respective airlines directly before proceeding to the airport.
“This is to confirm the latest updates on their flights and to avoid any unexpected delays or changes. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation, and we are always pleased to serve you.”
The Iranian airspace has been closed until further notice, state media reported, and at this time, Jordan has also closed its airspace to all flights.
The move aims to ensure smooth travel operations and minimise passenger inconvenience amid evolving air traffic conditions.
