Saudi Arabian Airlines is the national airline of Saudi Arabia, based in Jeddah. It operates domestic and international scheduled flights to over 70 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 (JED). Other major hubs are Riyadh-King Khalid International Airport (RUH), and Dammam-King Fahd International Airport (DMM).

Saudi Arabia Airlines has traveled a long way to modernize its fleet. This was done after conducting comprehensive studies for the Airline requirements which included; both the long and short run operational needs, determining the optimal type of aircrafts, and the analysis of several operational factors such as; the distance, number of passengers, number of flights, and finally both regional and international competition.
