One of the justifications given by SAUDIA for its growth was the rise in demand for international travel.
In order to facilitate travel around the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the airline also recently introduced a visa scheme that combines transit visas for travelers with aircraft tickets.
“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 in demand for international travel, this is the right time to expand our global network in new, exciting ways,” SAUDIA group director general, H.E. Engineer Ibrahim Al-Omar said in a statement.
SAUDIA recently made significant Dreamliner deals with Boeing, together with Saudi Arabia’s newest airline, Riyadh Air. As part of a larger strategic goal to make Saudi Arabia a hub for international aviation, SAUDIA will buy up to 49 787 Dreamliners.
