Saudia has exciting news for travelers looking to explore Thailand's stunning beauty! The airline has just announced the launch of a new direct route from two major cities in Saudi Arabia to Phuket International Airport (HKT). Starting in December 2024, passengers can hop on flights departing from King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) in Jeddah or King Khalid International Airport (RUH) in Riyadh, heading straight for the picturesque island of Phuket. This marks the second Thai city to be connected to Saudia's network, following flights to Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK).

With a total of 12 weekly round trips between Phuket and Jeddah/Riyadh, Saudia will be utilizing its state-of-the-art B787 Dreamliner aircraft for this route.

The exclusive space features 10 dedicated check-in counters with comfortable seating areas, where passengers are welcomed with traditional Saudi coffee and dates by specialized staff.

This strategic move aligns with Saudia's vision to expand its global network and provide top-notch services to its guests. By strengthening its Jeddah hub, Saudia aims not only to enhance operational efficiency and passenger experience but also to support the broader goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to attract 330 million visits to Saudi Arabia.
