Canonical event record

What happened

The article reports renewed disruption to cargo capacity and services to, from and within the Gulf following attacks by Yemen’s Houthis on Saudi airports, notably Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport.

Why it matters: Stable but elevated rates reflect constrained Gulf capacity and sharply higher fuel costs, while Asia-Pacific holiday effects temporarily weakened volumes.
