12 Ekim 2026CNBC

Delta has delayed its planned nonstop flights from the U.S. to Saudi Arabia due to recent attacks at an airport, marking a significant change in travel plans.
Delta Airlines has postponed the launch of its nonstop service between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, originally scheduled for October 23.
This decision follows recent attacks on an airport in Saudi Arabia, raising safety concerns. The route was set to be a significant milestone as it would have been the first nonstop commercial flight connecting the two countries.
Delta's planned route was seen as a breakthrough in U.S.-Saudi aviation relations, reflecting a growing interest in travel and commerce between the two nations. However, the recent attacks have cast doubt on the feasibility of such expansions in the near term.
The delay in Delta's service highlights the ongoing risks associated with international travel in regions experiencing conflict. While the airline's decision prioritizes passenger safety, it also underscores the challenges airlines face in expanding routes in volatile areas.
