Saudia, the national flag carrier of Saudi Arabia, has achieved growth in its operational performance for the first half of 2025, based to the latest performance report.
The airline carried more than 17.5 million guests, marking a 7.2% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
Millions of journeys from Bangladesh to Saudi Arabia each year make this route a vital artery in the Kingdom’s global network. Bangladeshi travelers consistently turn to Saudia, drawn by its reliable service, wide range of flight options, and its tailored approach to the specific needs of Hajj, Umrah, and expatriate travel. This strong passenger preference not only reinforces the deep-rooted ties between Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh but also plays a key role in driving Saudia’s ongoing global expansion.
This growth was supported by the operation of over 100,000 flights, including scheduled and additional services across its extensive network spanning four continents, representing a 4% increase.
In total, Saudia recorded more than 293,500 flight hours during this period, while maintaining an exceptional on-time performance rate (OTP) of 89.6%. Notably, the airline ranked first worldwide for OTP in both March and June 2025, according to reports issued by Cirium, a leading global aviation analytics provider.
