Saudi Airlines expansion
The airline has revealed it will publish more schedule details on announced destinations soon.
SAUDIA Group Director General Ibrahim Al-Omar said: “SAUDIA Group has been carrying the kingdom’s ambitions, values and traditions across every corner of its network, as it flies the nation’s flag around the world.
“These new destinations will offer greater access and choices to our guests. Given the increase of demand in international travel, this is the right time to expand our global network in new, exciting ways.
SAUDIA recently launched “Your Ticket Your Visa” in January. The first-of-its-kind service provides guests with even easier access to the Kingdom through a digital integration system that links transit visas with flight tickets.
The new service is aimed to encourage passengers to perform Umrah, visit key destinations and attend events during their transit in the Kingdom.
The new service, which covers all international airports in the Kingdom, will allow guests to stay in the Kingdom for up to 96 hours, during which they can travel around the Kingdom and perform Umrah.
The digital integration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs facilitates the issuing of the transit visa and links it to the airline’s flight ticket within three minutes.
