Saudia to launch direct flight to Athens in June

Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia) plans to launch its new international destination to Athens in Greece, on June 5, as the first international destination in 2019.

It will operate four flights a week from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Press Agency reported.

“Operating direct flights to Athens comes in the context of investment in the new fleet and expanding Saudia's operations in the international sector, which achieved during 2018 a big leap of 11 percent over 2017, as the sector witnessed an unprecedented expansion in the number of new destinations,” Saudia's director general Saleh Bin Nasser Al-Jasser said.
