Delta Air Lines’ New 15-Hour Nonstop Route Delayed After Bombings: See Map Now

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines has paused its long-anticipated Riyadh launch. The SkyTeam carrier was set to begin nonstop flights to the Saudi Kingdom from October 26, but they have been moved back to March 2027 due to the ongoing geopolitical tension and two recent major bomb attacks. Nonstop service will take off from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) to Riyadh Airport (RUH).
