Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation has released a notice regarding significant flight disruptions caused by heavy rainfall affecting major airports, including those in Jeddah, Riyadh, and Taif.
Passengers are facing minor delays as the weather complicates scheduling.
The persistent rain has resulted in reduced visibility and water pooling on runways, prompting airlines to prioritize safety and modify their operations.
Authorities are advising travelers to stay informed with their airlines for the latest updates on delays or changes to flight schedules.
King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah and King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh are experiencing the most significant impacts, with both domestic and international flights encountering slight delays.
Ground staff and airport officials are working diligently to reduce inconvenience and ensure the safety of all passengers.
Although delays have been minimal, travelers are encouraged to arrive early, keep an eye on weather reports, and exercise patience as Saudi Arabia deals with these challenging weather conditions.
The advisory underscores the government’s dedication to safety, aiming to restore normal operations as soon as the weather permits.
