Saudi Arabian Airlines (Arabic: الخطوط الجوية العربية السعودية
Al-Khuṭūṭ al-Jawwiyyah al-ʿArabiyyah al-Saʿūdiyyah ) is the
flag carrier airline of Saudi Arabia, based in Jeddah. It
operates domestic and international scheduled flights to over
90 destinations in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and
North America. Domestic and international charter flights are
operated, mostly during Ramadan and the Hajj season.
The airline's main operational base is at Jeddah-King
Abdulaziz International Airport (JED). Other major hubs are
Riyadh-King Khalid International Airport (RUH), and Dammam-King
Fahd International Airport (DMM). The new Dammam airport was
opened for commercial use on 28 November 1999. Dhahran
International Airport in use until then, has reverted to being
used as a military base.
Saudi Arabian Airlines is a member of the Arab Air Carriers
Organization. The airline used to be the largest carrier in
the region, but because of the growth of other airports and
airlines has become the second largest in 2006, behind
Emirates
