Riyadh Airports in Saudi Arabia received the first direct flights of China Southern Airlines from the city of Guangzhou, on a new route operated four times a week, providing more than 118,000 seats annually on Airbus A330 aircraft with a capacity of 285 seats across Business and Economy classes.
The launch of this route comes through cooperation between Saudi Arabia's Air Connectivity Program and its partners in the tourism and aviation ecosystems, with the aim of strengthening connectivity networks between the Kingdom and China and providing wider options for travelers and tourists to visit the Kingdom and discover its tourist attractions and historical heritage, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
The Air Connectivity Program is the executive enabler of the National Tourism Strategy and the Aviation Program, and works to develop current and future air routes and connect the Kingdom with new international destinations, in cooperation with government entities and the private sector, helping to cement the Kingdom's position as a global tourist destination.
