Singapore Airlines to launch non-stop Riyadh flights in June

The city becomes SIA’s second Saudi destination alongside Scoot’s Jeddah route.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) will operate four-times weekly non-stop flights between Singapore and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, starting June 2026.

The service will be operated using the medium-haul variant of the Airbus A350-900, configured with 303 seats across two cabin classes—40 in Business Class and 263 in Economy Class.

Subject to regulatory approvals, flight SQ498 will operate from Singapore to Riyadh on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with the return flight SQ499 on the same days.

Riyadh will be SIA Group’s second destination in Saudi Arabia, complementing Scoot’s four-times weekly service to Jeddah.

Tickets will be made available progressively via the airline’s distribution channels.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
