RIYADH: NEOM, the sustainable regional development in Saudi Arabia, and flag carrier Saudia have partnered to offer weekly service to international destinations from NEOM Bay Airport, marking the start of services at the airport.

Saudia will operate direct flights to select regional and international destinations.
