Delta postpones Atlanta-to-Riyadh service after Houthi attacks on Saudi airport

Delta Air Lines has postponed its flight service from Atlanta to Riyadh until March 2027. This decision follows deadly attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels on King Khalid International Airport. Delta cited evolving developments in the region for the delay. Meanwhile, the Saudi coalition destroyed a Houthi missile aimed at Riyadh. These heightened geopolitical tensions may lead to increased airspace restrictions, which could impact international aviation operations and regional stability across the affected areas.
