Post by : Mara Rahim

On Friday, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh experienced notable flight disruptions that affected numerous domestic and international carriers. Passengers reported extended wait times and crowded terminals throughout the morning hours.

The airport authorities explained that the challenges stemmed from various operational issues over the preceding two days. These included diverted flights arriving from other airports and essential maintenance work on the fueling system that hindered standard airport operations.

Consequently, several airlines had to adjust flight schedules, leading to numerous delays and cancellations. Visitors to the airport were advised to check with their airlines to verify flight statuses, potentially alleviating congestion within the terminals.

Officials emphasized the utmost priority on passenger safety. Operational teams are actively collaborating with airlines and relevant authorities to restore normal operations as soon as possible.

Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia) acknowledged a temporary technical setback at the airport that contributed to delays and cancellations. The airline assured that it is in close coordination with the Riyadh Airports Company to manage the current situation and provide support to travelers.

Saudia also communicated that affected passengers are being contacted through various means and will incur no fees for rebooking or changes to their itineraries. The airline urged all customers to verify their flight status before arriving at the airport to prevent inconvenience.
