Malaysia Welcomes Riyadh Air To Kuala Lumpur, Marking A New Chapter In Malaysia-Saudi Tourism And Aviation Cooperation

 

KUALA LUMPUR – Tourism Malaysia warmly welcomed the arrival of Riyadh Air at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) today, celebrating the Saudi national carrier’s historic maiden entry into Southeast Asia. The landmark flight signals a transformative era in bilateral tourism cooperation and opens direct access for high-yield Saudi visitors to Malaysia.

The inaugural flight arrived at KLIA from King Khalid International Airport, Riyadh, representing Riyadh Air’s first scheduled commercial service to Malaysia and its inaugural destination within the region. Operating three times weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, the Riyadh–Kuala Lumpur route utilises Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft configured to accommodate up to 290 passengers per flight. This strategic connection significantly enhances direct accessibility while fostering deeper tourism, trade, and investment exchanges between both nations.
