Red Sea International Airport to welcome international
flights
Red Sea International Airport has announced the initiation of its first-ever
international flights. Following a schedule of domestic flights operated by
Saudia since September 2023, the airport is set to welcome its inaugural
international arrival on April 18, operated by flydubai.
This new twice-weekly flight from
Dubai to Red Sea International Airport will significantly enhance connectivity
for residents of the Red Sea regions along Saudi Arabia's western coast. With
the addition of flydubai services, the airport will now facilitate eight
regular flights per week.

forward to truly opening up to the world and welcoming visitors from the UAE,
the wider Middle East region, and beyond." He also highlighted the
