Saudi airport attacks cut Riyadh air cargo capacity as peak nears
Riyadh's international outbound air cargo capacity has dropped by about a third after attacks on Saudi airports prompted airlines to suspend services, according to Rotate data.
Attacks this week on Saudi airports prompted airlines to suspend services, removing both freighter lift and bellyhold space from Riyadh. Rotate data showed outbound capacity on freighters and widebody passenger aircraft fell 34% over 24 hours, to 848 tonnes, and 26% over 72 hours, compared with equivalent periods a week earlier.
Freighter-only capacity fell 10% outbound. The source headline also notes that the disruption comes as a peak season looms. The supplied excerpt does not provide further details beyond the freighter-only figure.
