JEDDAH – UNS : Unconfirmed reports circulating on social media claim that Saudi Arabia has temporarily suspended air traffic at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah amid heightened regional security concerns.
The reported disruption comes as Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, has intensified missile and drone attacks against targets inside Saudi Arabia.
However, Saudi aviation authorities and the airport administration have not yet officially confirmed a complete suspension of operations at the Jeddah airport.
Passengers have been advised to verify their flight status directly with airlines before travelling.
The latest escalation follows coordinated Houthi attacks on several locations in southern Saudi Arabia that wounded 73 people and disrupted operations at some energy facilities, according to Saudi authorities.
