Saudia rolls out up to 50% discount on international flights

Dhaka: Saudi Arabian national airline Saudia has rolled out a new promotional campaign, offering discounts of up to 50% on Guest Class and Business Class fares from Saudi Arabia to international destinations, along with connecting flights across its four-continent network.

The booking window runs from August 20 to September 3, covering travel dates between September 1 and December 10. Both one-way and round-trip tickets qualify for the discount, and reservations can be made through multiple sales channels.

Additionally, AlFursan loyalty program members booking during this period will receive a 100% bonus on tier credits, giving them extra opportunities to upgrade or retain their membership status.

The offer aligns with Saudia's broader strategy to strengthen Jeddah's role as a hub airport through operational waves designed to boost connectivity and transit traffic. The airline aims to raise annual transit passenger numbers from over two million in 2026 to more than 5.5 million by 2030.

As part of this push, Saudi Arabia's transit visa permits travelers to stay in the country for up to 96 hours, allowing them to perform Umrah and explore tourist sites en route to their final destinations.
