Saudi Arabian Airlines,operating as Saudia, is the flag carrier airline of Saudi Arabia. The airline reverted to its abbreviated English brand name Saudia (used from 1972 to 1996) from Saudi Arabian Airlines (historic name in use until 1971 and reintroduced in 1997) in 2012, the name was changed to celebrate the company’s entry into the Sky Team airline alliance on that day. 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.
The nation’s flag carrier, Saudia, was founded as Saudi Arabian Airlines in 1946 as a fully owned government agency, with TWA running the airline under a management contract.
