King Khalid Airport Resumes International Flights After Two-Week Closure

King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh has restarted international flights after a two-week closure, a development that comes as markets track the risk of a wider Saudi airspace shutdown.

Terminal 2 is handling international services. Before flights resumed, Saudi authorities intercepted a ballistic missile and drones near Riyadh. Security concerns persist as service returns.

Separate contracts track a possible Saudi airspace closure, with listed dates of Nov. 1, 2026, and Jan. 1, 2027. Traders may look to Saudi aviation officials for updates on the country's airspace status.
