According to published satellite images and media reports, the recent attacks on Saudi Arabia's vital infrastructure have dealt a heavy blow to the country's aviation sector and economy.
The satellite images released yesterday, October 13th (21st Mehr), show extensive damage to the roof and various parts of the main terminal of the King Fahd International Airport in Al-Dammam. These damages were caused by the recent missile and drone attacks by the Yemeni armed forces on this strategic airport.
According to field reports, during these attacks, at least 39 flights out of a total of 240 scheduled flights of this airport were canceled and some flights circulating in the skies of the region were forced to change routes to alternative airports.
Also, reports indicate that Riyadh and Dammam airports have been completely closed and extensive damage has been caused to their infrastructure.
What makes this incident more bitter for the Saudi authorities is that the Yemeni armed forces had warned several times before that Saudi airports would be targeted.
"Yahi Saree", the spokesman of the Yemeni armed forces, issued a statement on October 11 (19th October) and announced that all the airports and airspace of Saudi Arabia, except the airports of Mecca and Medina, are in the crosshairs of the attacks and operations of the Yemeni forces.
He asked all airlines, employees and passengers to take the warnings seriously and stressed that Saudi Arabia will be responsible for any unsuccessful interception. However, Saudi officials seem to have ignored these repeated warnings, and Sana'a has continued to respond on an "airport for airport, blockade for blockade" basis.
These attacks not only caused heavy physical damage, but also had extensive economic consequences.
According to reports, in the two-day period last Saturday and Sunday, nearly 1,485 flights were canceled in the three main Saudi airports (Riyadh, Jeddah, and Al-Dammam). International airlines have also temporarily stopped their flights to the destinations of Riyadh, Dammam and Abha.
Meanwhile, holding the World Energy Congress (WPC) in Riyadh has also become an arena for reflecting the consequences of these tensions. This event, which was supposed to host the top executives of the world's major oil companies, was met with widespread withdrawal from the energy giants.
The CEOs of ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, Total Energy and Chevron, who were supposed to speak at this conference about global oil and gas markets and energy security, removed their names from the list of speakers. This withdrawal has dealt another blow to Riyadh's efforts to introduce itself as an investment and tourism hub in the framework of "Vision 2030".
