British Airways has announced an enhancement in its flight services by increasing the frequency of direct flights from Riyadh to London Heathrow from seven to 13 weekly. This change aims to provide travelers with more flexibility and improved connectivity within the airline’s extensive global network.

The new flights will run almost every day except Tuesdays, featuring scheduled times that allow for convenient onward connections to over 200 destinations from London Heathrow. Each increase in service translates into approximately 80,000 more seats available over the previous year.

The airline’s operations from Riyadh include Arabic-speaking cabin crew to ensure a personalized and comfortable experience for passengers, highlighting its commitment to understanding the needs of Saudi customers.

Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Chief Planning and Strategy Officer, said:

“We are delighted to be increasing our services from Riyadh to London Heathrow, giving customers more options to travel between both regions, connecting families, friends and businesses.”

Fares will start at SAR1956, allowing customers to select from British Airways’ four cabin configurations, thereby catering to varying travel preferences and budgets. This expansion not only serves business and leisure travelers but also fortifies the cultural and economic connections between Saudi Arabia and the UK.
