Delta to delay planned flight from Atlanta to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia until March 2027

Delta will delay the planned launch of its nonstop service between Atlanta and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, amid evolving developments in the region. The safety and security of our customers and employees always come first and continue to guide our operational decisions. We remain in close contact with relevant government and aviation partners, including Saudia and Riyadh Air, as we monitor the situation.

Saudi Arabia remains an important market for Delta, and we are committed to serving the Kingdom for the long-term. We look forward to connecting Saudi Arabia to Delta's global network in March 2027.
