Saudi Arabian Airlines Introduces New Low-Cost Services

Saudi Arabian Airlines has just announced the airline's plan to operate low-cost flights.  The decision was made after seeing the success of low-budget airlines in the Gulf region. Two other Saudi private airlines, which are to be newly licensed soon, have also expressed their readiness to start low-cost service.

According to Abdullah Rahaimy, president of the General Authority for Civil Aviation (GACA), most Saudi investors who have applied for licenses to operate private airlines in the Kingdom have opted for budget airline operating models.
