SAUDIA and Riyadh Air signed a Strategic Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding as part of an expansive agreement to include codeshare flight, signifying a major milestone moment of collaborative strength in the KSA aviation ecosystem.
The MOU is the first major agreement between the two airlines, and it is set to lay the foundation for further cooperation in the future.
Along with strengthening the wider Saudi aviation ecosystem the collaboration is intended to offer a comprehensive range of benefits for passengers traveling globally to and from Saudi Arabia, as well as those travelling domestically within the Kingdom.
As part of the agreement, guests of both airlines will be able to take full advantage of each airline’s worldwide network through a comprehensive interline and codeshare agreement that will allow passengers to easily connect between sectors operated by either SAUDIA or Riyadh Air. This means members of each airline’s loyalty program will be able to earn points or credits when traveling on codeshare services operated by the other. This will be followed by a wider loyalty agreement in which passengers can accrue or redeem points and receive elite level benefits across both airline’s global networks.
