Saudia
Saudia flies to over 100 destinations with its fleet of over 150 aircraft. The airline’s Airbus A320 family narrowbodies combine with its Airbus A330, Boeing 747, Boeing 777, and Boeing 787 Dreamliner widebodies to help the airline dominate Saudi air travel out of its headquarters in Jeddah. The King Abdulaziz International Airport-based company is owned by the Government of Saudi Arabia. Along with a robust domestic network, it serves numerous cities across the Middle East, North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. (Featured image: Tom Boon - Simple Flying)
