Delta Air Lines has postponed its Atlanta-to-Riyadh flight service until March due to attacks by Houthi rebels on Saudi Arabia's airport. The delay follows a series of strikes that have disrupted aviation in the region.
The Houthi group, backed by Iran, launched attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, leading to casualties and significant disruptions. Delta cited 'evolving developments in the region' as the reason for the delay.
The postponement highlights the ongoing tension between Saudi Arabia and Houthi rebels, with the conflict escalating in recent weeks. The incident underscores the risks faced by airlines operating in the Middle East.
The Houthi attacks have raised concerns about the safety of air travel in the region, prompting airlines to reassess their routes and schedules amid the ongoing conflict.
