What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Federal Aviation Administration issued a warning to U.S. airlines flying to or over Saudi Arabia, citing safety-of-flight risks linked to ongoing military activities and GNSS interference. This notice to airmen is in effect until December 10. Delta Air Lines was scheduled to launch a route from Atlanta to Riyadh, but its CEO stated that safety considerations would determine if the route proceeds. FedEx operates in Riyadh, though no U.S. commercial airlines currently fly there.
