Saudia has announced the addition of Tokyo to its international network, with 3 weekly flights from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh starting in November 2026.
The direct flights are being launched in cooperation with the Air Connectivity Program and the Saudi Tourism Authority, and Saudia has opened bookings through its digital channels and authorized sales outlets, according to a post on Saudia's LinkedIn account.
The new route aims to strengthen air connectivity between Saudi Arabia and Japan and support tourism, business, investment and trade between the two countries, as well as widening access to the Kingdom.
The Saudi Tourism Authority is working with travel industry partners and travel agents in Japan to develop tour packages and promote Saudi destinations, with the aim of attracting more visitors from the Japanese market. The launch of the flights also comes ahead of Saudi Arabia hosting the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, helping to facilitate the arrival of fans and visitors from Japan.
Saudia offers travelers a range of digital services before arriving at the airport and during their journey, as well as the products and services available on board. Saudia currently operates flights to more than 100 destinations on 4 continents with a fleet of 153 aircraft, and is adding 112 new aircraft as part of its fleet expansion program to increase its operating capacity.
