# Air India cancels Saudi flights until 7 November after Houthi attacks 2026-10-25T14:41:39+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Air India has cancelled all its flights from India to Saudi Arabia until 7 November after fresh Houthi rebel attacks on Riyadh airport and oil facilities. The strikes have deepened the security crisis in the Middle East, with tensions rising across the region. The Houthi attacks targeted Aramco compounds and military sites, leading the US government to issue an advisory asking its citizens to remain vigilant. Saudi authorities have not yet released details of casualties or damage from the latest assaults. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The cancellation affects thousands of Indian passengers who travel the busy India-Saudi route for work and pilgrimage, with no clarity yet on whether Air India will extend the suspension beyond 7 November. Houthi attacks have escalated over the past weeks, targeting critical infrastructure and airports, which raises the risk of broader disruption to regional air travel. The next clear date is 7 November, when Air India will decide whether to resume flights or extend the cancellation. ## Coverage - aajtak.in Straight factual report on Air India cancellations and attacks This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
