Saudia boosts capacity on London routes

Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia) has marked 55 years of serving Heathrow.

The carrier has increased its seat capacity to London by 51%, providing 21 flights a week to meet a strong growing demand for travel. 

The airline operates a mix of Boeing 787 Dreamliner and  777-300ER aircraft to Riyadh and Jeddah.

Europe regional manager Hisham Bindkhail said: “The celebration of our 55th anniversary of operations to and from London Heathrow marks a special occasion for us. 

“We are very proud to connect Saudi Arabia with the United Kingdom seven days a week. 

“We are experiencing high demand on services, especially after the exemption of visa for Saudi nationals to the United Kingdom, which is encouraging for many who wish to travel.” 

“We look forward to the next 55 years of operations in London and to welcoming our guests from the United Kingdom to experience Saudia on the ground and on board and enjoy a unique flight experience across all classes.”
