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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
