Saudi Arabian Airlines

 

Establishment and Beginning:

In the history of Saudi Arabia, we have witnessed significant moments that played a decisive role in the aviation and air transport industry, where Saudi Arabian Airlines established a strong foundation for itself.

 

It all started after a historic meeting between King Abdulaziz bin Abdul Rahman and U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt, during which the American President gifted King Abdulaziz a DC-3 aircraft. This gift became the nucleus for the establishment of Saudi Arabian Airlines.

 

The first air transport flights were operated between Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dhahran. Over the course of 72 years, the services expanded with the addition of a fleet of aircraft, making Saudi Arabian Airlines one of the prominent air transport companies in the Middle East and the world.

 

Today, Saudi Arabian Airlines is considered the national airline of Saudi Arabia and is headquartered at King Abdul-Aziz International Airport in Jeddah, with operational branches at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Prince Mohammad bin Abdul-Aziz Airport in Medina, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, and Abha Regional Airport. The airline offers flights to 102 destinations in Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
