Italy's ITA Airways cancels Saudi flights until November 18

According to Business Recorder, ITA Airways, the Italian carrier controlled by Lufthansa, has pushed back its suspension of flights to and from Riyadh until November 18. The airline announced the extension on Wednesday and linked it to the latest geopolitical developments in the region. Separately, ITA is also suspending flights to and from Dubai through November 30 for operational reasons.

Multiple carriers have pulled services to the kingdom and nearby countries following deadly weekend strikes on Riyadh airport, which Yemen's Houthis carried out. These attacks have compounded wider regional disruption that has been ongoing since a US-Israeli war with Iran began on February 28.

The report contains no financial figures for ITA Airways, so it does not address the airline's earnings or revenue impact from the suspensions. The schedule changes are the main facts for travellers following the situation.
