This is the second time that the airline has won this award since 2017. That year, the Saudi flag carrier impressively jumped from the 82nd to 51st position, a 40% improvement. This year, however, Saudia improved by a stunning 55% and is now 26th in the Skytrax ranking of global airlines.

 

The award cements the airline’s status as a full scale global carrier, constantly innovating its onboard service and culinary offering.

 

Being awarded this accolade award reflects the dedication to quality and performance improvements in different award categories including cabin crew, food & beverage, in-flight entertainment and more.

 

With a route network of more than 95 destinations and a fleet of 145 aircraft – operating one of the youngest fleets in the world – Saudia is on an upwards trajectory of continued growth in international markets.

 

Saudi Arabian Airlines director general, Ibrahim Alomar said: “It is an honour to receive this award on behalf of the entire SAUDIA team who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to the pursuit of the highest standards globally – from health and safety to the product and experience. I would also like to express SAUDIA’s deep appreciation and gratitude to The Custodian Of The Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman for their continuous support to SAUDIA, the Kingdom’s flag carrier. My congratulations also to SAUDIA’s Chairman His Excellency Eng. Saleh Al Jasser and the rest of the Board of Directors on this achievement.”
