KLM extends Saudi Arabia flight cancellations until December 27 amid attacks
KLM has extended its flight cancellations to Riyadh and Dammam in Saudi Arabia amid tensions in the Middle East. The Dutch airline will not operate flights to either city until December 27, extending the suspension by one month compared with its previous schedule.
Saudi Arabia said it intercepted Houthi missiles targeting Riyadh and other areas, according to Al Jazeera and Anadolu Agency. Al Jazeera reported that the Energy Ministry said falling shrapnel damaged a building in the capital. The Korea Herald reported damage to an Aramco building in Riyadh’s financial district, while Hindustan Times called the damage minor. The reports differ on whether missiles were intercepted or hit their target, and do not give a consistent account of the damage.
