Riyadh Air Expands London Heathrow Service to Nine Flights Weekly

Riyadh Air will increase its Riyadh-London Heathrow service to nine flights per week from November 2, adding two weekly flights to its existing schedule.

The additional services will operate on Mondays and Wednesdays, giving passengers more flexibility when travelling between the Saudi capital and London.

Riyadh Air launched its London Heathrow route in June 2026 as part of its international network expansion. The airline has since expanded its UK presence with flights to Manchester.

The increased Heathrow frequency will strengthen air connectivity between Saudi Arabia and the UK, supporting business travel, tourism and leisure demand between the two markets.

The airline is continuing to expand its international network as it builds Riyadh into a major global aviation hub. Its network growth is being supported by the expansion of its fleet and the addition of new international routes.

Riyadh Air currently serves destinations across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, with further routes planned as the carrier continues to scale its operations.

The airline has set a long-term target of connecting Riyadh with more than 100 destinations by 2030, positioning international network expansion as a key part of its growth strategy.
