As Saudi Arabia reopens its border for the first in nearly 15 months, the country is looking to the future once again. As part of its ambitious Vision 2030, the Kingdom is looking to attract 100 million yearly tourists to the largely-unvisited nation. To meet this goal, flag carrier Saudia plans to play a huge role, flying millions of travelers to the nation with a robust network.

In an interview at FTE Apex Virtual Expo 2021, Saudia CEO Captain Ibrahim Koshy spoke about his airline’s future. The guiding vision of Saudia will remain its home country’s bold ‘Vision 2030.’ First announced in 2016, the plan hopes to wean the Kingdom off of oil revenues and diversify its economy.
