In November 2025, Red Sea International Airport (RSI), operated by daa International, launched its first-ever direct flights from Europe. This new service is operated by the leisure airline beOnd, connecting RSI with key European cities and marking a significant milestone as it strengthens its role as a gateway to Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea region.
New Direct Flight Routes
The initial flights operate from major European hubs, offering premium leisure travel options for tourists keen to explore the pristine beaches and luxury resorts along the Red Sea coast.
Benefits and Economic Impact
The new routes are expected to:
- Boost tourism and economic growth in the Red Sea region
- Provide shorter travel times and convenient access for European travelers
- Enhance international connectivity and foster cultural exchange
Alignment with Saudi Arabia’s Vision
This development supports Saudi Arabia’s broader goals to diversify its economy and open the country to international tourism. It is closely tied to the Red Sea Project, a large-scale sustainable luxury tourism initiative that aims to preserve the environment while creating a unique tourist destination.
Future Outlook
The collaboration between RSI and beOnd highlights growing interest in the Red Sea as a unique vacation destination. Industry experts expect this launch to encourage other airlines to add similar routes, increasing tourism volumes further. RSI is also continuing to improve its infrastructure and services to accommodate more visitors.
Tourists and business travelers can look forward to enhanced travel options that combine exploration of Saudi Arabia’s natural wonders with high-quality transport services. Stay tuned to Questiqa Europe News for the latest updates.
