In a security alert issued on October 11, the US Mission in Saudi Arabia warned of possible flight cancellations, airspace closures and travel disruptions, advising travellers to confirm their departure status directly with airlines and airports.
The Saudi civil aviation authority confirmed that the casualties included four Saudis, two Bangladeshis and one person each from the United States, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan and Egypt. Some of the injured were in critical condition, while authorities assessed the damage to the airport.
The airline said affected passengers may rebook, reroute, or request a full refund. Customers are urged to check flight status through official channels as the carrier continues to closely monitor the situation.
