Saudia, Saudi Arabia’s main airline, has introduced new direct flights connecting Riyadh and Jeddah with Beijing, strengthening the bilateral ties between the KSA and China. The flights debuted on August 4 and August 6, 2023, and the countries hope this leads to enhanced tourism. These routes grant direct access to Saudi Arabia for northern China’s 165 million people, providing exciting travel opportunities.
The launched partnership with the Air Connectivity Programme (ACP) will demonstrate the kingdom’s commitment to boosting tourism and aviation industries. ACP expects to introduce more routes - in addition to Beijing - in the coming months, furthering Saudi Arabia’s aviation network and global accessibility.
