Riyadh Airport closure, Saudi national airline announces additional flights to Pakistan

Following the closure of King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh due to Houthi militia attacks, the Saudi national airline has announced additional flights to Pakistan. Pakistan's Consul General in Jeddah, Syed Mustafa Rabbani, stated that extra flights from Jeddah to Lahore and Islamabad are being operated today and tomorrow to accommodate stranded passengers. This decision comes after flights originally scheduled for Riyadh were redirected to Jeddah. Pakistani passengers who require assistance or guidance are encouraged to contact the consulate. The ongoing closure of Riyadh Airport and the rerouting of flights highlight the impact of the Houthi attacks on air travel in the region and the efforts by authorities to mitigate disruptions for international travelers.
