Emirates cancels every Saudi departure on 15 October

All eight Emirates departures to Saudi Arabia on 15 October were cancelled or did not operate, covering its Dammam, Jeddah and Riyadh flights. Etihad has cancelled its Abu Dhabi flights to Riyadh and Dammam through 18 October, with selected Jeddah services cancelled through 18 or 19 October. flydubai has stopped flying to 12 Saudi destinations, including Riyadh, Dammam, Abha and AlUla, but continues some services to Gassim, Jeddah, Madinah and Tabuk, and Air Arabia has cancelled Sharjah flights to Riyadh, Abha, Dammam, Jeddah, Jizan and Tabuk. Riyadh's airport remains suspended through 17 October, so residents planning Umrah should confirm with the airline that their flight to Jeddah or Madinah is operating.
