Saudi Arabian Airlines flights are up 8.81% over the past nine months compared with the same period last year. Operational performance standards and scheduled flights have increased while the number of delayed and cancelled flights have dropped. The announcement came after a number of Saudia flights were grounded in Egypt due to strikes by ground staff. “We are reaping the benefits of operational efficiency and productivity with our new fleet of A330s, and our passengers love it too,” said Khaled Almolhem, Director General of Saudi Arabian Airlines.
