Saudia to launch summer flights to 8 destinations

Saudi Arabia’s national carrier Saudia has announced its seasonal destinations for summer 2026, with flights operating from June to September across key leisure markets in Europe and the Middle East.

 

The network includes Salalah in Oman; Antalya and Bodrum in Türkiye; Nice in France; Athens and Mykonos in Greece; El Alamein in Egypt; and Málaga in Spain.

 

The programme, part of Saudia’s summer network planning, comes ahead of the Hajj season from 25 to 30 May 2026, with Eid Al Adha falling within the same period, as the airline plans capacity to accommodate both leisure and religious travel.

Saudia operates a network of more than 100 destinations and is expanding capacity as part of its broader growth strategy. The airline currently has a fleet of 149 aircraft, with a further 116 on order.

 

Recent initiatives point to a wider push to streamline travel across the kingdom. The airline has 

introduced integrated air and rail booking in partnership with Saudi Arabia Railways, allowing passengers to issue flight and train boarding passes in a single transaction, particularly for journeys between Makkah and Madinah.

 

The airline has also been adjusting capacity on domestic and regional routes during peak periods. During Eid Al Fitr earlier this year, Saudia added 20 additional flights between Riyadh, Jeddah and the Red Sea destination, increasing total operations on those routes to 44 flights and boosting capacity by more than 80%.
