Saudia Set to Move Out of Riyadh to Make Room for New Airline

Saudi Arabia’s flag carrier will gradually move out of Riyadh’s airport to make room for the kingdom’s newest airline, allowing it to focus on its primary hub in Jeddah.

Saudia, which currently operates from both cities, will hand over slots to brand-new Riyadh Air that is due to begin operations in 2025, General Authority of Civil Aviation’s Vice President of Strategy Mohammed Alkhuraisi said.
