Saudia is operating, with route-specific cancellations and rescheduling reflected in its booking system. Its live checker lists Jeddah–Dubai flight SV588 on 7 September 2026 as on time.
Here is what’s suspended, what’s still flying, and what to check before you travel.
Saudia Routes Suspended or Disrupted
Saudia’s latest linked operational notice, dated 1 July and marked until further notice, says cancellations and rescheduling are reflected in the system through the end of October 2026. It does not provide a complete current route-by-route suspension list.
The status evidence for the following routes is:
- Kuwait City — Saudia’s checker lists Jeddah–Kuwait SV6588 on 8 September 2026, scheduled 12:05–14:20 local time, shown as on time. Departure is from Jeddah Terminal 1; this is a pre-departure listing, not confirmation of arrival.
- Bahrain — current September operation or suspension not independently verified
- Sharjah — current September operation or suspension not independently verified
- Baghdad — current September operation or suspension not independently verified
- Damascus — current September operation or suspension not independently verified
The earlier suspension reports do not establish the current status of Saudia flights to Kuwait International Airport.
Southern Saudi Airports
Current Saudia operations at Abha, Jizan, Najran and Sharurah were not independently verified. Earlier temporary-closure reports are not evidence that these airports remain closed.
Eligible passengers on affected bookings can request the free-change or refund options in Saudia’s disruption notice; rebooking is subject to availability and the applicable waiver conditions. See Saudia’s cancellation and rebooking guide for details, and the Middle East travel disruptions live blog for the wider regional picture.
Saudia Routes Still Operating
Saudia’s live status checker returned one Jeddah–Dubai result for 7 September 2026: SV588, scheduled 12:10 from Jeddah and 16:00 into Dubai, shown as on time. Times are local. The page displayed an update time of 10:30 AM on 7 September; this was a pre-departure status, not confirmation of arrival.
This result confirms the published status of that flight only. Current daily frequencies for Abu Dhabi, Amman and Doha were not independently verified. Schedules remain subject to short-notice change.

Schedule Changes and Route Adjustments
London Services
The current weekly frequencies of Jeddah–London Heathrow and Riyadh–London Heathrow were not independently verified; the previously stated double-daily pattern should not be treated as a September timetable.
Riyadh–Kozhikode
Current operation and frequency of Riyadh–Kozhikode could not be independently verified from the accessible September status results.
The route targets Umrah travel demand and passenger flows from Kerala. Search flights to Kozhikode on Wego.
Adjusted Flight Paths
Routing can change with airspace restrictions; one operating flight does not establish that the wider network is unaffected.
