Riyadh Air has opened ticket sales for a new three-times-weekly service between Riyadh and Jakarta, with flights starting November 16, 2026, expanding the airline’s growing Asian network to its 16th destination.

The service will connect King Khalid International Airport with Soekarno–Hatta International Airport using Riyadh Air’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, featuring the airline’s latest cabin interiors and onboard experience.

The new route links the capitals of Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, Southeast Asia’s largest economy, amid growing trade, business travel and religious tourism between the two countries.

Bilateral trade reached $6.6 billion in 2025 and totaled $2.6 billion in the first half of 2026.

Riyadh Air said the direct service will support government, diplomatic and corporate travel while providing a new gateway for Indonesian religious visitors travelling to Saudi Arabia.

Beyond point-to-point connectivity, the Jakarta route will allow passengers to connect through Riyadh to destinations across Riyadh Air’s expanding global network.

The airline said additional destinations are expected to be announced in the coming days and weeks as it continues expanding its international network.

Tony Douglas, Chief Executive Officer of Riyadh Air, said: “Opening ticket sales for Jakarta marks another important milestone in Riyadh Air’s rapid expansion across Asia and the continued growth of our global network. This new direct connection between Riyadh and Jakarta will strengthen the ties between two important G20 nations, supporting growing business, tourism and religious travel while providing guests from Indonesia with seamless access to the Kingdom and our expanding network beyond Riyadh. We look forward to welcoming guests on board our state-of-the-art Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners and delivering the exceptional, digitally led experience and authentic Saudi hospitality that define Riyadh Air." -TradeArabia News Service
