Air France is enhancing its international network by introducing a new non-stop flight service from Paris to Riyadh. The airline will operate three flights weekly, beginning May 20, providing increased connectivity between France and the capital city of Saudi Arabia.
The decision is indicative of deepening business and tourist relations between the two countries. Riyadh, the most important Middle Eastern economic hub, has been experiencing heightened global demand for tourism, which has been spurred by Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 plan that seeks to diversify the country’s economy as well as expand tourism.
Air France’s new route is to make traveling convenient for businesspeople, travelers, and pilgrims traveling to Saudi Arabia. The airline’s up-to-date fleet will operate on the route, offering travelers a smooth and enjoyable travel experience.
With this expansion, Air France consolidates its position in the Gulf, providing passengers with additional choices for non-stop flights to and from Europe. Aviation experts view the action as a strategic move to counter growing competition among international carriers flying in the Middle East.
