Taking to the skies

SAUDI Arabian Airlines, the national flag carrier of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has welcomed its first passengers to the newly-opened King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah. The first flight to leave the new airport was to Gurayat, a northern domestic airport in #SaudiArabia. 

The existing airport in Jeddah and the new terminal will continue to operate concurrently, with a majority of the Saudia network set to remain operating from the existing main airport. A phased transition will take place, with flights gradually moved and starting operations from the new airport.
