Saudia, the national flag carrier of Saudi Arabia, has launched seasonal flights to Athens, Greece. The inaugural flight, SV195, departed from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh at 10:40 AM on Wednesday, April 2, 2025.
This new route caters to the growing demand from both tourists and business travellers, offering enhanced convenience, comfort, and accessibility. It aligns with Saudia’s strategic vision to expand its global footprint, enhance competitiveness, and meet evolving guest preferences.

As part of the largest fleet modernisation project in its history, Saudia continues to increase seat capacity, optimise route networks, and elevate the travel experience.
The Riyadh–Athens route will operate three times per week using the Airbus A320, known for its efficiency, reliability, and modern onboard services, ensuring a seamless journey for guests.
Further strengthening connectivity, Saudia will introduce flights from King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah to Athens starting in June 2025.
