SAUDI ARABIAN AIRLINES SAYS IT IS NOT TIME FOR INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS

 Saudi Arabian Airlines has not yet decided to start international flights. But the Ouda scheme has facilitated the return of expatriates. Saudi Arabia has also published guidelines for travelers to various countries.

Saudi Arabia has suspended international flights since March 15 in the wake of the Kovid expansion. Saudi Arabian Airlines officials said the situation would continue until further notice. Saudi nationals currently stranded in various countries are allowed to return to Saudi Arabia. Ouda also facilitates visitors staying in the country on visas and foreigners wishing to return to their home country on re-entry visas and final exit. However, Saudi Arabian Airlines has not yet decided to resume normal international services.

At the same time, Saudi Arabian Airlines yesterday published a code of conduct for travelers to 25 countries, including Saudi Arabia. This will take effect only at the time of commencement of air services. This does not mean that it has decided to start air services, Saudi officials said
