Saudia announced a Special Prorate Agreement (SPA) with Myanmar Airways International, expanding travel options between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. The agreement enables guests to book travel on a single itinerary between Jeddah or Madinah and Yangon, with connections via key regional hubs including Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Dubai. Guests will benefit from coordinated itineraries across both airlines’ networks, enabling a streamlined booking process across Saudia and Myanmar Airways International. The partnership expands Saudia’s reach into Myanmar and strengthens its connectivity with Southeast Asia, supporting growing travel demand between the two markets. Saudia serves more than 100 destinations across four continents and continues to expand its global network through new routes and strategic partnerships. These efforts support Saudia’s mission of bringing the world to the Kingdom while enhancing travel options for guests.
