Saudia increase Beirut flights

Saudi Arabian Airlines will increase its scheduled services to Beirut with five additional flights for the coming summer season bringing the total to 15 reported the Saudi Gazette.

Daily flights will depart from Jeddah while Riyadh will have six departures per week and Dammam will have two flights per week.

A group of Saudi travel agents recently completed a tour of tourism sites to strengthen cooperation with their Lebanese counterparts. Abdullah Al-Ajhar, SAA Assistant General Manager for public relations, said: “We have important mutual interests with these travel agencies. In fact they are our success partners.”

Saudia began its flights to Lebanon in 1948. Sixteen years later, its office was opened in Beirut. Soon afterwards, flights from the Lebanese capital started operating to Riyadh, Jeddah, Madina and Dammam.
