The airline stated it is closely monitoring developments and coordinating with relevant authorities.

Why it matters
The suspensions are linked to the evolving security situation amid hostilities involving the Iran-backed Houthis and Saudi Arabia, which have reportedly used armed drones and missiles. This disruption directly impacts air travel and operational logistics between the airline and major Saudi Arabian cities.
