The Saudi Arabian airline Saudia has launched a new seasonal flight service between Jeddah and Vienna. Since April 1, 2025, the route has been served three times a week with an Airbus A320. With the introduction of this service, the national airline is expanding its international route network to over 100 destinations on four continents. Vienna is one of the newest destinations, particularly of interest to tourists and business travelers from Saudi Arabia.
The inaugural flight, number SV151, departed at 10:00 a.m. local time from King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah and arrived at Vienna Airport at 14:25 p.m. Return flights to Saudi Arabia will depart the same day at 15:45 p.m. In addition to the service from Jeddah, Saudia plans to launch flights from Riyadh to Vienna starting in June 2025. The route is scheduled to operate until September 6, 2025, with weekly departures on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
By launching the Vienna route, Saudia is responding to the growing demand for direct connections between the Middle East and Central Europe. Austria has seen growing interest from Saudi Arabian tourists for years, particularly due to Vienna's cultural attractions and shopping opportunities. The Saudi airline is focusing on expanded flight offerings to further strengthen connections between the two regions and expand its international reach.
