Dubai-based airline Emirates has announced plans to add 10 new services per week to the Saudi Arabian cities of Riyadh and Jeddah, as it looks to boost its operations in the Kingdom.
This 71 per cent increase in operations is expected to further augment trade between the two Arab nations, whose economic ties have been growing, according to Business Intelligence Middle East.
From 31 October, Riyadh will reportedly receive five additional services per week, taking its weekly service to 12 flights. From 2 January 2011 Jeddah will receive five additional services, taking its weekly operation to 12 also.
