It Will Benefit Flyers Of Both Airlines
As mentioned previously, as it will offer greater connectivity to the region, customers of the airline will also get access to 9 destinations not just in Saudi Arabia but even in the Middle East. These are beyond the hubs of Saudia in the kingdom, which happens to be in Jeddah and Riyadh. As it happens, the guests of the two airlines will get to enjoy an enhanced travel experience and it will serve not just the tourism but even business sectors as well.
