Saudi Arabia plans to hold the Future Investment Initiative forum in Riyadh on Oct 26–29 despite sustained Houthi attacks, offering in-person and online participation and alternative air and land routes. Houthi strikes have intensified against Saudi airports and oil facilities; Riyadh International Airport was suspended after an attack that killed 13, and a reopening date is unclear. Organizers have contacted foreign embassies and companies to arrange hybrid attendance and alternative routing, including private flights to Dammam with road transfers to Riyadh or routing via Bahrain (Manama) or Qatar (Doha) followed by overland entry to the capital.
