DUBAI, Oct 23 — UAE national airline Etihad has extended until November 5 its suspension of flights to Riyadh and Dammam in Saudi Arabia, targeted by strikes from Yemen’s Houthis.

Etihad had suspended its service to Riyadh on October 12, two days after a deadly attack on a passenger terminal killed 13 people.

In a statement yesterday, Etihad specified that flights to and from Riyadh and Dammam would remain suspended due to “operational disruptions”.

On Wednesday evening, two people were killed and eight others wounded in an attack on Dammam airport.
