How Saudi Arabia is now rivalling Dubai for international air travel – ArabianBusiness

Saudi Arabia is emerging as a key part of the international aviation market with Riyadh and Jeddah rivalling Dubai as the standout destination, according to new research.

As well as featuring in four of the world’s busiest international routes in March, Jeddah to Riyadh (620,090 seats) was also included in the top 10 domestic routes published by aviation analysts OAG.

OAG’s latest data showed that Dubai’s DXB Airport remained the world’s busiest international hub this month despite the loss of its Kuwait route from the top 10, replaced by Cairo-Riyadh.
