New Airline Faces Challenges Due to Conflict
Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia’s new airline, has launched commercial flights amidst the ongoing conflict with the Houthis. The airline has faced significant challenges, including diverted and canceled flights, due to missile strikes on its home base. Despite these challenges, the airline plans to restart operations, albeit with a modified route that avoids the capital city. The situation has also impacted other airlines in the region, including Emirates, as they navigate flight restrictions and anxieties about their proximity to the conflict. This development was reported by The Wall Street Journal.
