The Red Sea International Airport is on track to open this year along with the first three resorts at The Red Sea destination<\/h2>\n
\n

Red Sea Global<\/a>\u00a0(RSG), the multi-project developer behind the regenerative tourism destinations, The Red Sea and Amaala, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAUDIA) and the Red Sea International Airport (RSI) operator, daa International. The agreement will see SAUDIA become the first airline to operate to and from the Red Sea International Airport.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to RSG, the airport is on track to open this year along with the first three resorts at The Red Sea destination. Initially it will open for domestic flights to and from Riyadh and later Jeddah, before expanding to handle international flights from 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

John Pagano, Group CEO of\u00a0Red Sea Global<\/a>, said: \u201cWhen the first commercial flight lands at Red Sea International, it won\u2019t just be a point of personal pride for Red Sea Global. It will be a milestone moment for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in making that vision a reality. It is fitting, therefore, that the Kingdom\u2019s flag carrier, SAUDIA, will be first to operate from our destination.\u201d<\/p>\n

The agreement will see SAUDIA commence regular scheduled services to and from RSI. It also provides a framework for the three organisations to undertake joint research on the use of Lower Carbon Aviation Fuel (LCAF) and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at RSI. The use of electric vertical take-off and landing jets (eVTOL) to reduce emissions from air travel to The Red Sea will also be evaluated.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s agreement marks a new chapter in Saudi Arabia\u2019s aviation history. As wings of Vision 2030, SAUDIA\u2019s contribution is to be an enabler in attaining gigaprojects targets, and our involvement as the first airline to operate from and to Red Sea International Airport is a source of pride for us all. This agreement will strengthen our position in the Kingdom and allow us to collaborate with RSG and daa International to boost tourism and enhance the country\u2019s standing within international aviation\u201d said Ibrahim Koshy, CEO of SAUDIA.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The agreement expands on daa International\u2019s existing relationship with RSG as the operator of its International Airport. daa International will continue to manage the airport and work with SAUDIA on various activities, such as the allocation of airport gates and counters.<\/p>\n

\u201cRed Sea International is a new gateway for travellers to experience the wonders of Saudi Arabia. Bringing our unmatched airport management expertise, we will work with RSG and SAUDIA to ensure RSI delivers a truly unique experience for all who pass through it,\u201d said Nicholas Cole, CEO of daa International.<\/p>\n

Three resorts at The Red Sea will open this year along with the first phase of the Red Sea International Airport. A further 13 hotels will open as part of phase one, and upon full completion in 2030, the destination will comprise 50 resorts, offering up to 8,000 hotel rooms and more than 1,000 residential properties across 22 islands and six inland sites. The destination will also include luxury marinas, golf courses, entertainment, F&B, and leisure facilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":617,"parent":0,"template":"","special-features-category":[32,18,23,19,15,33,24,22,21,30,31,20,27,26,25,29],"class_list":["post-612","special-features","type-special-features","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","special-features-category-a-projects","special-features-category-gcc-tenders-gate","special-features-category-gulf-mega-projects","special-features-category-gulf-tenders-gate","special-features-category-hospitality","special-features-category-ksa-projects","special-features-category-latest-prpjects-in-gcc","special-features-category-mega-projects-in-gulf","special-features-category-projects-in-gcc","special-features-category-saudi-arabia","special-features-category-saudi-arabia-projects","special-features-category-tenders-in-gcc","special-features-category-27","special-features-category-26","special-features-category-25","special-features-category-29"],"yoast_head":"\nSAUDIA becomes first airline in Red Sea International Airport | Made in GCC -
