As Saudi Arabia emerges as a major global business and tourism destination, Pakistani travellers increasingly look toward the Kingdom for seamless international journeys. Saudia, the Kingdom’s flag carrier since 1945, is central to this growing trend, which continues to enhance travel experiences between Pakistan and key global destinations.
Saudia operates over 530 daily flights to more than 100 cities and offers extensive connectivity for Pakistani business and leisure travellers. Major hubs, including New York, London, Paris, Frankfurt, and Toronto, are easily accessible through efficient transit points at Jeddah and Riyadh. Recent partnerships with international airlines like Delta and AEGEAN expand Saudia’s network, granting travellers additional routes and smoother connections worldwide.
Acknowledging the diverse needs of its Pakistani passengers, Saudia introduced a unique 96-hour stopover visa program, encouraging travellers to explore Saudi Arabia’s cultural and economic developments while en route to their destinations.
Saudia’s Business Class provides spacious seating, lie-flat beds, 17-inch HD screens, and complimentary Wi-Fi to elevate passenger comfort. Further enhancements are planned, with the airline introducing upgraded suites aboard the new Airbus A321 XLR aircraft in 2026. Also, in late 2025, Saudia will retrofit its Airbus A330 and Boeing 777 fleets with private business-class suites, significantly improving privacy and luxury.
Reliability remains another hallmark of Saudia’s service. For 2024, Cirium ranked Saudia first globally in on-time departures (88.82%) and second in arrivals (86.35%), underscoring its commitment to punctuality and efficiency.
Catering to the culinary preferences of Pakistani travellers, Saudia serves authentic halal cuisine, featuring Saudi dishes like Kabsa and Jareesh. Passengers enjoy meals meticulously prepared to halal standards, complemented by traditional Saudi coffee. Additionally, Business Class passengers benefit from onboard chefs providing restaurant-quality dining tailored to individual tastes.
As connections deepen between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, Saudia stands ready to support growing passenger demands through improved service, comfort, and reliability, solidifying its reputation as a preferred airline for Pakistani travellers.
