SAUDIA launched “Your Ticket Your Visa” in January.

The new service, which covers all international airports in the Kingdom, will allow guests to stay in the Kingdom for up to 96 hours, during which they can travel around the Kingdom and perform Umrah. The digital integration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs facilitates the issuing of the transit visa and links it to SAUDIA flight ticket within three minutes.
The carrier has 142 aircraft, including the B787-9, B777-300ER, Airbus A320-200, Airbus A321, and Airbus A330-300.
