Operations at Riyadh's international airport continue to be suspended following fatal attacks on the facility, a senior aviation source in the Saudi capital told AFP on Sunday, after authorities announced a temporary closure the night before.

"Riyadh airport has suspended operations again today. They informed us of this at dawn," the source said.

Air traffic monitor Flightradar24 also noted the suspension, saying "the closure of Riyadh Airport has been extended by another 24 hours, until 21:00 UTC today", in a statement posted on X.
