Italy's ITA Airways cancels Saudi flights until November 18 ROME, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Italy's ITA Airways, controlled by Lufthansa LHAG.DE, said on Wednesday it had extended the suspension of flights to and from Riyadh until November 18 "due to the latest geopolitical developments".
Several airlines have cancelled connections to Saudi Arabia and neighbouring countries in response to the deadly weekend attacks on Riyadh airport by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis
The attacks have added to wider disruptions in the region since the US-Israeli war with Iran started on February 28
ITA also said it was suspending flight to and from Dubai until and including November 30 for operational reasons
