SAUDIA Kicks Off 2023 by Increasing Seat Capacity for International Flights by 40% to Serve the Tourism, Hajj and Umrah Sectors
Captain Ibrahim Koshy, CEO of SAUDIA, said: “We plan to build on SAUDIA’s operational success of last year with a strategic plan that further enhances SAUDIA’s reputation for meeting our guests’ needs and delivering performance excellence. Since the beginning of the new year, we have seen steadily increasing demand on already-popular routes. By expanding capacity and enhancing flight schedules SAUDIA is able to offer increased flexibility to customers and better manage its operational requirements in light of the significant challenges facing the aviation industry.”
SAUDIA’s operational plan also features a number of new additions to its fleet. New Boeing B787 Dreamliner aircraft, with 24 business class seats and 333 economy class seats, will join SAUDIA’s fleet in 2023, along with the latest Airbus A321NX aircraft, that offer 20 business class seats and 168 economy class seats. Additionally, SAUDIA continues to implement strategies and systems that allow it to maintain operational efficiency while ensuring the highest safety and quality standards.
With its advanced fleet of 142 aircraft, SAUDIA currently travels to over 100 destinations across four continents, delivering a daily flight rate of about 461 flights. The company has also enhanced its cutting-edge digital service offer on its website and mobile app, allowing customers to conveniently complete their travel procedures and access services online.
