Saudi Airlines (Saudia) has announced the addition of more than ten new destinations to its flight network for 2025, including Vienna, Venice, Larnaca, Athens, Heraklion , Nice, Malacca, Bali, Antalya, El Alamein, and Salalah. The expansion comes in response to increased international travel demand, with a 16% growth in passenger transport last year, according to SPA.
Saudia Group's General Manager, Eng. Ibrahim bin Abdulrahman Al-Omar stated that following the airline's operational success in 2024, a strategic plan has been implemented for 2025 to maintain high performance. Flights have been scheduled to meet operational needs with flexibility throughout the year, particularly during peak seasons, while adapting to industry challenges.

The selection of new destinations was based on feasibility studies and guest demand, aligning with Saudi Arabia's national aviation strategy to reach 250 destinations by 2030.
The newly introduced routes will enhance Saudia's global network, which currently spans over 100 destinations across four continents. With more than 530 daily flights, the airline continues to develop its international operations to increase its market share and strengthen the Kingdom's global connectivity.
