Riyadh Air celebrates first flight from Manchester to Saudi capital

A new link between Manchester and the Saudi capital of Riyadh launched this morning – with Saudi Arabia’s new digital-led airline Riyadh Air making the North’s hub airport just its fourth destination in Europe.

The service will not only open up connections to Saudi Arabia for travellers from the North but will also give them access via onward connections to Riyadh Air’s network of destinations across Africa and Asia.
