The carriers applied to the necessary codesharing authorities will start selling codeshare itineraries once all government approvals have been received.
The codeshare agreement will enable greater connectivity between the United States and the Middle East.
Saudia guests will gain access to 12 destinations in the U.S. beyond Delta’s hubs at JFK and LAX airports. Delta customers will gain access to 9 destinations in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East beyond the cities of Jeddah and Riyadh.
Arved Von Zur Muehlen, chief commercial officer at Saudia, said: "Signing this codeshare agreement with Delta Air Lines reflects Saudia's commitment to expanding its flight network, providing seamless travel experiences and enhancing its global connectivity. This provides Saudia’s guests with more travel options, promoting the local tourism sector and allowing international visitors to discover the diversity of the Kingdom's attractions."
He added, "This partnership between two legacy airlines fosters greater collaboration between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States, opening up new possibilities for commercial and tourism relations. We look forward to furthering our cooperation and exploring additional opportunities with Delta."
