Saudi Arabia’s national carrier, Saudia, has extended the suspension of flights to and from eight major destinations until March 6, 2026, as ongoing regional tensions and US–Israel–Iran conflict continue to disrupt commercial air travel across the Gulf and beyond. The airline’s decision comes against the backdrop of widespread airspace closures and safety precautions triggered by the US–Israel–Iran conflict, which has led to thousands of flight cancellations and massive travel upheaval across the Middle East and globally.
