Direct Belgrade-Riyadh air service to be launched – First flights in August?

Flights between the capital of Saudi Arabia and Belgrade will be introduced in the coming period, marking the first time the two countries have been linked with a nonstop air service, EX-YU Aviation News reports.

Talks between a Saudi Arabian tour operator, which will have exclusive rights to sell tickets on the route, and airline operators are currently under way with a decision to be made in mid-July. The first service is expected to launch during the Eid al-Adha holiday, which runs between August 21 and 25. The Serbian Embassy in Saudi Arabia is assisting the parties involved with the planned launch.

The two countries recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the promotion of tourism and have pledged to work together to encourage people-to-people exchange between the two nations.

Sarajevo is currently the only city in the former Yugoslavia with nonstop flights to the Kingdom, operated by the Saudi subsidiary of Egypt's Nesma Airlines.
