Saudia has launched an exceptional promotional offer featuring discounts of up to 50% on Guest Class and Business Class, enabling guests to travel from the Kingdom to international destinations, as well as transit journeys through the Kingdom to final destinations across its network spanning four continents—a move that enhances travel options, strengthens the competitiveness of its international network, and supports transit traffic, tourism efforts and the Umrah season.
Booking is available from August 20 to September 3, 2026, through all sales channels, for travel from September 1 to December 10, 2026. The offer includes round-trip and one-way tickets on Guest and Business Class, with guests enjoying an integrated travel experience combining digital services that facilitate all journey stages, airport and onboard services, seats designed for comfort, and ultra-high-speed internet available on a growing number of fleet aircraft.
Alfursan loyalty program members benefit from an additional feature when booking during the offer period: receiving 100% extra tier credit, helping them reach a higher membership tier or maintain their current level.
Saudia is adopting the Jeddah hub airport strategy, based on the “waves of operation” model by aligning flight schedules within interconnected waves, improving connection efficiency and enhancing smooth guest transfers between eastbound and westbound flights. The strategy aims to double transit passenger numbers from more than 2 million in 2026 to over 5.5 million by 2030.
The transit visa grants Saudia guests the opportunity to turn their layover into an in-Kingdom experience, as it can be issued electronically when booking a ticket, allowing stays of up to 96 hours—enabling guests to perform Umrah, visit tourist destinations and enjoy the diverse experiences the Kingdom offers before continuing to their final destinations.
The offer extends initiatives implemented by Saudia to grow transit traffic and enhance the Kingdom’s appeal, whether by serving growing demand for international travel from the Kingdom or expanding transit traffic and attracting more international guests, leveraging its extensive destination network, connection efficiency and growing operational capabilities in support of the National Aviation Strategy targets.
