Riyadh Air is planning to operate an initial network of 15 destinations spanning the Middle East, Europe and Asia, according to aviation news site Aeroroutes.
Although it has not officially been published by the airline yet, this preliminary route network has appeared on the “S26 start of season report” published by Airport Coordination Limited (ACL), a British firm that acts as a slot coordinator at several major airports worldwide.
According to this report, Riyadh Air’s initial destinations in Europe will be Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Manchester (MAN) and Madrid-Barajas (MAD), in addition to London Heathrow (LHR), an airport which the Saudi carrier has already been serving in a limited capacity since October 2025, with flights only open to company insiders.
Riyadh Air will also fly from its base in the Saudi capital to Cairo (CAI), Amman (AMM), Dubai (DXB), Islamabad (ISB), Lahore (LHE), Mumbai (BOM), Bangkok (BKK), Kuala Lumpur (KUL), Jakarta (CGK) and Manila (MNL).
Jeddah (JED) will be the only domestic destination, at least initially.
As many industry commentators have noted, all these destinations, except Manchester, are already being served from Riyadh King Khalid International Airport (RUH) by Saudia, the other Saudi national carrier, which will be focus its activities on Jeddah after Riyadh Air’s commercial launch.
It is important to remark that the fact that a destination appears in the ACL report does not mean it will be operated. In this regard, Riyadh Air has only officially confirmed that it will be flying to Cairo, Dubai International and London Heathrow when it starts regular scheduled operations.
As of March 15, 2026, Riyadh Air’s new generation online booking platform is not yet open to the public.
