Air Arabia Jordan’s first flight from Amman to Riyadh, Saudi Arbaia, touched down today, marking the start of a new era of connectivity between the capital cities of Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

Riyadh joins Dammam, Madinah and Jeddah as Saudi Arabian cities served by direct Air Arabia Jordan flights. Flights will operate three times weekly, on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Passengers will leave Amman Queen Alia International Airport at 15:45 and arrive at Riyadh King Khalid International Airport at 17:50. Return flights will depart Saudi Arabia at 18:30 and land in Jordan at 20:15.

An Air Arabia Jordan spokesperson said: “Air Arabia Jordan has got off to a strong start to 2016 and we are delighted to add Riyadh to our rapidly expanding network of Saudi Arabian cities. Our value for money proposition has proved to be extremely popular, and in turn, this has enabled us to continue investing in new destinations to meet passenger demand in Jordan and the wider Levant.” - TradeArabia News Service
