Spending on airlines in Saudi Arabia rose for a second consecutive week in the week ending Nov. 7, according to data from the Saudi Central Bank. The increase came as operations resumed at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh following Houthi attacks on the facility.
Point-of-sale transactions in the airline sector totaled SR33.83 million ($9.02 million) in the week ending Nov. 7, up 8.5 percent from the previous week, the central bank data showed.
The 8.5 percent gain followed an 11.2 percent increase in the week ending Oct. 31.
