EASA expands Saudi airspace warning amid Houthi attacks

The EU Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has expanded its warning for Saudi airspace, citing recurrent missile and drone attacks and activation of air-defense systems that raise the risk of civil aircraft misidentification. This follows continued Houthi attacks in the region, indicating a sustained threat to aviation safety. The expansion signals heightened risk for commercial flights over Saudi territory, potentially affecting regional air travel and insurance costs.
