Riyadh Air Adds Two Flights to London Heathrow, Increases Service to Nine Weekly

Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia’s national carrier, today announced that it will operate two additional flights between Riyadh and London Heathrow, expanding its service between the two cities to nine times weekly from the current daily service.

 Following its successful launch to London Heathrow on June 10, 2026, the airline now flies eight aircraft to 14 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia and aims to be on sale to almost 30 destinations by the end of 2026.

 The additional return services are planned for Monday and Wednesday, with a daytime flight from Riyadh to London followed by an overnight departure to Riyadh, and are scheduled to begin on November 2. The expanded schedule will give guests more options for travel between the two cities, including business trips, short breaks and extended weekends.

 Riyadh Air CEO Tony Douglas said: “Since launching our London service four months ago, we have continued to build our presence in the UK by launching flights to Manchester and now increasing two additional roundtrip flights to Heathrow. The additional flights help us meet the growing demand on this important route while giving guests more choice and flexibility while strengthening the connection between Riyadh and London.”
