Saudia launches flights to Tunisia, Malaysia in collaboration with Air Connectivity Program
Saudi Arabia: The Saudi Arabian
Airlines has partnered with the Air Connectivity Program on international direct
flights departing from Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport to Tunis
and Kuala Lumpur.
The collaboration, to begin on Sept. 1, will pave
the way for more pilgrims during the upcoming Umrah season, according to a
statement.
Currently, Saudia transports guests to over 100
destinations across four continents.
Recently inaugurated flights to Barcelona, Zurich,
Amsterdam and Seoul have also started as a result of the national carrier’s
collaboration with the Air Connectivity Program.
The program was launched earlier this year to
support and motivate airlines to establish local and international air routes
and increase flights to existing and targeted destinations, consequently
contributing to tourism in the Kingdom to achieve the goals of Saudi Vision
2030.
