Cirium flight data, as relayed by the Financial Times, Reuters and a repost on X, shows that more than 45% of scheduled flights from Saudi Arabian airports were cancelled between 8 and 19 October. One repost gives 5,547 of 12,195 flights affected, and the Financial Times gives more than 5,500 cancellations since the Saudi-Yemen conflict escalated. The repost's headline attributes the groundings to Yemen, but no official source has confirmed the figures or the cause.
