Singapore Airlines (SIA) will launch four times weekly non-stop flights between Singapore and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in June 2026.

Mr Lee Lik Hsin, Chief Commercial Officer of Singapore Airlines, said: “Our return to Riyadh comes amid the thriving business environment and ambitious development that makes it one of the Middle East’s most dynamic cities. In addition to a new destination, this service will enable us to work with our partners to offer our customers additional travel options across the region.”
