IFALPA published a Safety Bulletin concerning increasing drone and missile attacks on targets in Saudi Arabia.
These are a threat to operations for Saudi airports and overflights of the OEJD/Jeddah FIR. The most significant risk is in the south of the country along the border with Yemen, but OERK/Riyadh and OEJN/Jeddah airports have also been targeted. It is a dynamic situation with flight operations being regularly interrupted. The threat to civilian traffic arises not only from direct attacks on Saudi Arabia airports but also from falling debris coming from air defence activities.
We encourage you to take note of this important Safety Bulletin in case you operate in the NAT area.
