RIYADH: Saudia, formerly known as Saudi Arabian Airlines, is to launch flights from Madinah to Istanbul Airport on May 11.
This comes after air travel resumed between the Turkish city and Riyadh and Jeddah on May 7, following a two-year pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Flights from Jeddah and Medina are scheduled every day, while trips from Riyadh are to be held on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, according to Turkish media Hürriyet Daily News.
The timing of the new flights follows Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan's recent visit to Saudi Arabia on April 28, his first since 2017.
