From 1 June Saudia begins operating flights to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi flag-carrier will fly six times a week to King Abdulaziz International Airport on 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.

It plans increasing to daily services from August.

Stephanie Wear, Gatwick’s VP Aviation Development said: “Saudia will be a very welcome addition to Gatwick’s growing long-haul offer.”
