As Saudi Arabia emerges as a major global business and tourism destination, Pakistani travelers increasingly look toward the Kingdom for seamless international journeys. Central to this growing trend is Saudia, the Kingdom’s flag carrier since 1945, which continues to enhance travel experiences between Pakistan and key global destinations.
Operating over 530 daily flights to more than 100 cities, Saudia offers Pakistani business and leisure travelers’ extensive connectivity. Major hubs including New York, London, Paris, Frankfurt, and Toronto are easily accessible through efficient transit points at Jeddah and Riyadh. Recent partnerships with international airlines like Delta and AEGEAN further expand Saudia’s network, granting travelers additional routes and smoother connections worldwide.
Acknowledging the diverse needs of its Pakistani passengers, Saudia introduced a unique 96-hour stopover visa program, encouraging travelers to explore Saudi Arabia’s cultural and economic developments while en route to their destinations.
Elevating passenger comfort, Saudia’s Business Class provides spacious seating, lie-flat beds, 17-inch HD screens, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Further enhancements are planned, with the airline introducing upgraded suites aboard the new Airbus A321 XLR aircraft in 2026. Additionally, starting late 2025, Saudia will retrofit its Airbus A330 and Boeing 777 fleets with private Business Class suites, significantly improving privacy and luxury.
Reliability remains another hallmark of Saudia’s service. Cirium ranked Saudia first globally in on-time departures (88.82%) and second in arrivals (86.35%) for 2024, underscoring its commitment to punctuality and efficiency.
Catering to the culinary preferences of Pakistani travelers, Saudia serves authentic halal cuisine, featuring Saudi dishes like Kabsa and Jareesh. Passengers enjoy meals meticulously prepared to halal standards, complemented by traditional Saudi coffee. Additionally, Business Class passengers benefit from onboard chefs providing restaurant-quality dining tailored to individual tastes.
As connections deepen between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, Saudia stands ready to support growing passenger demands through improved service, comfort, and reliability, solidifying its reputation as a preferred airline for Pakistani travelers.
