    Editorial teamBy


    Several routes were disrupted on Monday, with cancellations to destinations in Saudi and Nairobi.

    Despite the disruptions in Saudi, multiple flight routes are operational by Etihad and Air Arabia. Etihad resumed its daily flight services to and from Jeddah since November 6, while its flights to Riyadh and Dammam are cancelled until November 19.

    Flydubai has also cancelled several routes to Dammam until November 10 and Abha and Riyadh until November 17, according to the carrier’s flight booking page.

    This comes as Houthi attacks continue in the kingdom, with the rebel group targeting airport and more recently, an Aramco-linked building in Riyadh.
