Saudia has announced the launch of direct flights to Moscow, the capital of the Russian Federation, with 3 weekly flights from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, starting October 2025.
In a press release on its LinkedIn account, the airline said the operation of the new destination comes in cooperation with the Air Connectivity Program and as part of its strategic partnership with the Saudi Tourism Authority, with the aim of boosting tourism to the Kingdom and promoting its diverse events throughout the year.
The expansion of air connectivity with Moscow reflects Saudia's interest in serving multiple customer segments, from business travelers and tourists to Hajj and Umrah pilgrims, and in expanding its network in Europe, as part of its drive to connect the Kingdom with major global markets.
The airline confirmed that preparations are under way to provide an ideal travel experience, including opening bookings and preparing service platforms at airports, along with the readiness of its growing fleet of 147 aircraft operated by qualified personnel, boosting operational efficiency and supporting the targets of Saudi Vision 2030.
The Moscow route is a new addition to the network of Saudia, which serves more than 100 destinations on 4 continents and operates more than 550 domestic and international flights daily, as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen air connectivity and cement the Kingdom's position as a global logistics hub in line with the National Aviation Strategy.
