Come June 2026, Singapore Airlines (SIA) will launch four-times weekly non-stop flights between Singapore and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Riyadh will be the SIA Group’s second destination in Saudi Arabia, complementing Scoot’s four-times weekly service to Jeddah.
Singapore Airlines will operate the medium-haul variant of its Airbus A350-900 aircraft, which is configured with 303 seats in two cabin classes: 40 in Business Class and 263 in Economy Class.
Subject to regulatory approvals, flight SQ498 will depart Singapore for Riyadh on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 18.20 (local time). The return flight, SQ499, will depart Riyadh for Singapore on the same days at 23.00 (local time).
“Our return to Riyadh comes amid its thriving business environment and ambitious development, which make it one of the Middle East’s most dynamic cities,” said Lee Lik Hsin, chief commercial officer, Singapore Airlines. “Beyond a new destination, this service will potentially allow us to work with our partners to offer our customers additional travel options across the region.”
Tickets for SIA’s Riyadh services will be progressively available via the airline’s distribution channels.
