Your Ticket Your Visa
"Your Ticket Your Visa" was introduced by the airline in January. By connecting transit visas and flight tickets through a digital integration system, the first-of-its-kind service gives visitors even easier access to the Kingdom.
With the new service, which is available at all of the Kingdom's international airports, visitors will be able to stay for up to 96 hours and travel the country as well as perform the Umrah. The transit visa can be issued more quickly and linked to an SV flight ticket thanks to the digital integration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
On September 23, 2017, Saudi National Day, flyadeal's first flight from Jeddah to Riyadh took off. With 10,000 seats sold in the first 24 hours of going on sale, it was the first airline in the world to launch exclusively through digital channels.
SAUDIA's fleet includes142 aircraft: the B787-9, B777-300ER, Airbus A320-200, Airbus A321, and Airbus A330-300. Beginning with a flight from Jeddah to Riyadh, the low-cost carrier's network now spans 27 seasonal, international, and domestic destinations.
