Air Arabia Jordan’s first flight from Amman to Riyadh touched down Sunday (April 17), marking the start of a new era of connectivity between the capital cities of Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

Riyadh, the Kingdom’s main financial hub, joins Dammam, Madinah and Jeddah as Saudi cities are served by direct Air Arabia Jordan flights.

Flights will operate three times weekly, on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Passengers will leave Amman Queen Alia International Airport at 3:45 p.m. and arrive at Riyadh King Khaled International Airport at 5:50 p.m. Return flights will depart Saudi Arabia at 6:30 p.m. and land in Jordan at 8:15 p.m.

An Air Arabia Jordan spokesperson said: “Air Arabia Jordan has got off to a strong start to 2016 and we are delighted to add Riyadh to our rapidly expanding network of Saudi cities. Our value for money proposition has proved to be extremely popular, and in turn, this has enabled us to continue investing in new destinations to meet passenger demand in Jordan and the wider Levant.”
