Direct flights between the Polish capital, Warsaw, and Saudi capital, Riyadh, will begin on the fourth of next June, as Polish Airlines will begin operating its first flight to the Saudi capital, according to the Saudi Ambassador to Poland, Saad Al-Saleh.
Al-Saleh said that launching direct flights between the two countries will enhance the trade balance figures and intensify levels of cooperation in vital sectors such as tourism, sports, and education, reported Al Arabiya.
In an economic context, the Saudi ambassador revealed in an interview via Al Arabiya.net that the volume of bilateral trade during the past year reached about 9 billion dollars, describing the level of trade exchange as “growing”.
He indicated that Riyadh and Warsaw want to strengthen their economic and trade relations. The ambassador added that Poland enjoys huge opportunities in the field of technology, energy, and food security, explaining that it is possible to benefit from these opportunities with Warsaw through exchanging visits, building partnerships and signing memorandums of understanding.
Last year, Flynas, the national air carrier and the leading low-cost airline in the world and the Middle East, announced the launching of direct flights between Jeddah and the Belgian capital, Brussels.
Flynas launched its first direct flights from King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah to Brussels on December 2, 2023. Since then, the company has been operating three weekly flights to the Belgian capital.
The airline launched an expansion plan under the title “Connecting the World to the Kingdom,” in line with the objectives of the National Aviation Strategy, to reach 330 million passengers, 100 million tourists and to increase the number of international destinations linked to the Kingdom to more than 250 destinations by 2030.
Earlier this year, Flynas announced the launch of three weekly direct flights between Jeddah and Berlin, starting from September 4th next year. Flynas’s CEO and Managing Director, Bander Almohanna, stated that adding Berlin to the international destination network is in line with Flynas’s expansion plan in Europe.
