Saudi authorities closed Abha International Airport on 13 July 2026 following a Houthi missile and drone attack, disrupting operations for at least eight airlines including Saudia, Flyadeal, flynas, and Flydubai. The strike marks the first direct assault on Saudi territory since the 2022 truce, breaking a four-year calm and forcing operators to reassess airspace risk across the Arabian Peninsula. At least 10 departures were canceled on 14 July alone, with Air Cairo suspending all Abha services and Flydubai diverting an inbound flight to Taif before canceling further services. The US FAA extended closures of Abha, Jizan, and Najran until 15 July afternoon, while Canada revised travel advice to explicitly caution against non-essential travel to Abha due to strike risks.
