Saudia Launches Direct Flights Between Riyadh and Vienna, in Collaboration with the Air Connectivity Program

Saudia, the national flag carrier of Saudi Arabia, has inaugurated its first direct and scheduled flights from Riyadh to Vienna, the capital of Austria. This strategic route, launched in collaboration with the Air Connectivity Program (ACP), follows Saudia’s successful seasonal operations from Jeddah earlier this year and supports the airline’s international expansion efforts. It reflects Saudia’s ongoing commitment to strengthening global connectivity and enhancing access to key international destinations.

The new route operates four times weekly from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh to Vienna International Airport. Flights depart Riyadh under flight number SV153, with return flights from Vienna under SV152, scheduled on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. The flights will be operated with Saudia’s modern aircraft, featuring spacious seating and advanced entertainment systems tailored to meet the needs of all guest segments, along with a range of exceptional onboard services that enhance the overall travel experience.

The launch of the Riyadh–Vienna route complements Saudia's existing services from Jeddah to Vienna, reinforcing the airline's presence in Europe and providing guests with more convenient travel options. This expansion aligns with Saudia's commitment to enhancing connectivity and supporting the Kingdom's efforts to attract international tourists, investors, and business travelers.

With a network spanning over 100 destinations across four continents, Saudia continues to invest in its fleet and services to meet the growing demand for air travel. The introduction of the Riyadh–Vienna route is a testament to Saudia's dedication to connecting the world to Kingdom and contributing to the realization of the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 across key sectors including tourism, entertainment, finance, business, and religious travel such as Hajj and Umrah.
