Riyadh Air and EgyptAir sign partnership

Collaboration will provide fliers with access to more MENA destinations

Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia’s newest carrier, has agreed on terms with Egypt’s national airline, EgyptAir, for a partnership deal that will offer customers of both airlines benefits.

This strategic agreement is intended to strengthen ties between the two nations and their respective markets, while unlocking more travel options for travellers, offering connectivity to a range of domestic and international destinations across the Middle East and Africa (MENA).

Egyptair Group Chairman, Engineer Yehia Zakaria said: “I'm confident that this partnership with Riyadh Air will not only benefit our passengers but also foster a stronger relationship between Egypt and Saudi Arabia. We look forward to a successful collaboration, soaring to new heights together."

Tony Douglas, CEO of Riyadh Air, added: "As a close neighbouring country to Saudi Arabia, Egypt is a market where we anticipate significant traffic both to and from Riyadh and Cairo, so it’s critically important that we work closely together to further drive demand.

“The partnership will offer our guests much more choice between Riyadh and Cairo, plus a wider range of destinations. There will be benefits between both airline’s loyalty programmes and numerous other advantages and rewards that we look forward to sharing with our guests.”

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Riyad Air and Egyptair was signed during the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Annual General Meeting, held in Dubai earlier this month.
