Riyadh Air inaugurates its first direct service to Southeast Asia with a new Kuala Lumpur route starting 30 July 2026, alongside a seasonal Málaga gateway launching 14 July 2026 at three flights weekly. The airline also opens its first Dhaka service on 7 August 2026, marking a strategic expansion beyond the Middle East into Asia and Europe. Ticket sales are now active for all three routes, supporting Saudi Vision 2030 tourism goals and strengthening Riyadh as a transit hub. This rollout adds capacity to key leisure and business corridors, potentially pressuring overlapping operators like Qatar Airways and Gulf Air. Flight frequencies for Kuala Lumpur and Dhaka remain unconfirmed, and aircraft type or cabin configuration details are undisclosed.
