Riyadh Airport Resumes Flights at Two Terminals
King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh resumed limited operations on 25 October 2026, following around two weeks of closure. Flights have restarted at two of the airport's terminals under a phased reopening.
Terminal 1 is handling domestic flights, while Terminal 2 is serving international flights operated by Saudi national carriers. Travellers can expect a gradual return to normal activity across these terminals as operations ramp up.
Authorities advise all passengers holding confirmed bookings to verify their flight status directly with their airline before heading to the airport. This step helps avoid unnecessary trips in case of schedule changes or cancellations during the resumption period.
The reopening is significant news for residents and expats across Riyadh who rely on the airport for both domestic travel and connections operated by Saudi carriers. With the airport serving as a key gateway to the capital, the return of operations helps restore travel options for the community.
Saudi Living will continue to share updates as more details on the full operating schedule become available. For now, confirming your flight with your airline remains the most reliable way to plan your journey.
