Direct flights between Manchester and Jeddah will recommence in March, it has been announced.
Saudia Airlines will start to operate the service three times a week this spring and returns after a seven year absence.
Flights will depart from Manchester’s terminal two on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from 28 March.
“We are very happy that our plans to return to Manchester have now come to fruition, and that we are now able to offer North West customers a non-stop service to Saudi Arabia,” said the airline’s general manager of passenger sales and services for the European Region Rashid Alajmi.
“Commercial ties between the North of England and Saudi Arabia have traditionally been very strong and this new service will give business customers in the region the opportunity to travel to Saudi Arabia without having to transfer en-route. The North of England’s large Muslim population will also benefit from this new Manchester to Jeddah service when travelling to perform their religious pilgrimages of Hajj and Umrah,” he added.
