FAA warns US airlines of safety risks flying near Saudi Arabia after deadly airport attacks

The FAA has issued a warning to U.S. airlines to exercise caution when flying in or near Saudi Arabia following deadly attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which have killed at least 12 people and injured over 300. The airport remains closed, and flights have been suspended. The FAA's advisory highlights potential risks to aircraft at all altitudes due to ongoing military activities and navigation system threats, effective until December 10. Delta Air Lines, planning to launch its first nonstop Atlanta-Riyadh flight on October 23, has not yet decided whether to proceed, citing safety as the priority.

The FAA's warning to U.S. airlines about safety risks in Saudi Arabia comes as Delta Air Lines weighs its plans for a new nonstop flight to Riyadh. On Pluang, Delta Air Lines shares are trading at USD 81.25, down 1.12% as of Oct 12, 2026 19:41 WIB, with a market cap of $54.04 billion. Investors have held the stock for an average of 97 days, and it currently offers a dividend yield of 1.05%.
