Saudi Arabian Airlines, branded as Saudia, is the national flag carrier of Saudi Arabia and one of the largest airlines in the Middle East. Founded in 1945, it operates an extensive network of domestic and international routes spanning Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, and beyond. The airline is wholly owned by the Saudi Arabian government and plays a central role in supporting the kingdom's Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to diversify the economy and boost tourism and travel. Saudia serves as a vital link for millions of pilgrims traveling to Mecca and Medina each year. In recent years, Saudia has undergone significant modernization efforts, refreshing its fleet and cabin products while expanding its route network. The airline operates from its primary hubs in Jeddah and Riyadh, offering both full-service international travel and connections across the Arabian Peninsula.
