32 flights added to Saudi's Red Sea network for Eid

Red Sea Global (RSG) has added 32 additional flights to The Red Sea destination ahead of Eid Al Adha, increasing capacity across key domestic and regional routes during one of Saudi Arabia’s peak travel periods.

The expanded schedule will operate from 21 to 31 May 2026, with services departing from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai and Doha.

A total of 46 flights will depart from Riyadh during the holidays, including 24 additional services, while Jeddah will see 18 flights, with eight added. Regional hubs Dubai and Doha will each operate eight flights over the same period, supporting both domestic and international access.

The capacity increase comes as demand for short-haul leisure travel continues to build across the kingdom, particularly during holiday periods such as Eid Al Adha, when travellers seek resort destinations within the region.
