Security Alert: U.S. Mission Saudi Arabia (October 25, 2026)
Effective October 23, 2026, the Department of State ordered non-emergency U.S. government employees and U.S. government employee family members to leave Saudi Arabia due to safety risks.
Iranian-supported Houthis have engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including attacks on civilian airports and other critical infrastructure resulting in civilian casualties and severe travel disruptions. The hostilities have the potential to escalate rapidly beyond that immediate area.
U.S. government employees working in Saudi Arabia require special authorization from Chief of Mission to use any airport in Saudi Arabia following recent missile and UAV attacks on airports in the Kingdom.
King Khalid International Airport (RUH) in Riyadh announced a partial reopening as of October 25 for domestic flights and some international flights operated by national carriers. A limited number of flights normally based at RUH are operating out of Qassim-based Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz International Airport (ELQ).
Operations at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah (JED) are operational with some delays and cancellations.
Operations at King Fahd International Airport in Dammam (DMM) are operational with some delays and cancellations.
U.S. citizens should be aware of potential attacks on airports, airspace closures, flight cancellations, and travel disruptions. Please take extreme caution if you choose to use airports in Saudi Arabia. We recommend checking your flight departure status directly with the airline and with the airport.

BREAKING: Private aviation operators say they have been swamped with jets leaving the Gulf over the past 48 hours, with the surge beginning Monday night and reportedly involving not only wealthy expats and diplomats but also royals departing undercover, according to an industry source cited by @YachtLifeRadio.
The private exodus reportedly began before the public evacuation order for U.S. embassy staff in Saudi Arabia, with departures already underway days before the official warnings.
It comes as Donald Trump said that U.S. is not negotiating with Iran and “something will happen soon,” and the U.S. and Israel posture for potential fresh strikes.
The timing is particularly striking. When private jets, wealthy individuals, diplomats and reportedly royals begin leaving before official warnings become public, it suggests serious concerns may be building behind the scenes.
