Saudia, the national flag carrier of Saudi Arabia, signed an agreement with AEGEAN, the Greek flag carrier, to expand their codeshare.

The agreement adds numerous benefits for Saudia’s guests as well as AEGEAN passengers, including the expansion and growth of the flight network.

Additionally, it includes transit visa services, which can be issued through digital channels by Saudia in collaboration with the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, allowing guests from around the world to stopover for up to 96 hours.

The agreement was signed during the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) held at the Dubai World Trade Center by the Chief Commercial Officer of Saudia, Arved Von Zur Muehlen and Network Planning and Airline Partnerships Director AEGEAN, Yannis Rasoglou, by which Saudia’s guests and AEGEAN’s passengers will benefit from a wide range of privileges, starting with reservations and ticket issuance, in addition to fast and smooth transfers between flights with a single ticket. Moreover, they will enjoy the convenience of checking in their luggage to their final destination and benefiting from a reciprocal rewards program where miles can be collected to upgrade membership.

The agreement will also enable guests of both airlines to reach new destinations. Through AEGEAN, guests can reach 47 countries at 156 destinations, such as Zagreb in Croatia and Tirana in Albania, as well as Santorini and Rhodes in Greece. Guests of AEGEAN will also benefit from access to domestic destinations in conjunction with the tourism movement witnessed in various regions of the Kingdom.

Already in effect, the codeshare flights are available for booking through the airline’s websites and via travel agencies, whereas it is in the intention of both airlines to gradually expand the joint route offering.
