Himalaya Airlines has cancelled its flights between Kathmandu and Dammam on October 11, 2026, citing concerns for the safety of its passengers. The cancellations apply to both the Kathmandu–Dammam and the Dammam–Kathmandu sectors and will impact the travel plans of passengers on these routes. Himalaya Airlines confirmed cancelling the flights due to the situation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The airline stressed that it was taking the measure to ensure the safety of its passengers, and it suspended the operations of the scheduled services to Dammam for the day – a major city in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
Passenger Safety Takes Precedence
Himalaya Airlines said the flights scheduled for October 11 on both sectors were cancelled to prioritise the safety of its passengers. The cancellation is reflective of the airline’s policy of taking measures to operate the services under the safest conditions.
The cancellation will impact the passengers booked on the flights from Kathmandu to Dammam as well as the passengers who wish to return to Kathmandu from Dammam. Nevertheless, the report does not give details on the number of people impacted or whether other departures on the route will also be cancelled.
Travellers Should Check with Airline Before Departing
The passengers booked on the cancelled flights should check with the airline about the status of their travel before arriving at the airport. The passengers should also contact the airline about matters concerning rescheduling, alternate travel options, or other support that may be available to them in their affected travel case. The cancellation serves as a reminder about the airline’s responsibilities to its customers in the face of regional security developments. The status of the flights will be updated depending on the overall situation and the actions taken by the airline.
