King Khalid International Airport (RUH) reopened on 18 October after more than a week of disruption, but international flights remain far from normal. Aircraft operators must still obtain prior permission from Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation to land or depart.
A Flightradar24 update cited in the report said no passenger flight had sought that permission at the time of the update. There is no confirmed date for a full return to unrestricted international passenger services.
