The airline's main operational base is at King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) in Jeddah. King Khalid International Airport (RUH) in Riyadh and King Fahd International Airport (KFIA) in Dammam are secondary hubs. As one of the most experienced airlines in the region, it raised the standards in customer service excellence in the region and around the world while playing a key role in the development of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
