Singapore Airlines will operate four-times weekly non-stop flights between Singapore and Riyadh in June 2026 using its medium-haul variant of the Airbus A350-900.
The aircraft is configured with 303 seats in two cabin classes – 40 Business Class and 263 Economy Class.
Subject to regulatory approvals, flight SQ498 departs Singapore for Riyadh on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 6:20pm (local time). The return flight, SQ499, departs Riyadh for Singapore on the same days at 11pm (local time).
“Our return to Riyadh comes amid its thriving business environment and ambitious development, which make it one of the Middle East’s most dynamic cities,” Singapore Airlines chief commercial officer Lee Lik Hsin said. “Beyond a new destination, this service will potentially allow us to work with our partners to offer our customers additional travel options across the region.”
Riyadh will be the Singapore Airlines Group’s second destination in Saudi Arabia, complementing Scoot’s four-times weekly service to Jeddah.
Riyadh is Saudi Arabia’s capital and the Kingdom’s administrative and financial centre. Visitors can explore historic sites such as Diriyah and the Masmak Fortress, and enjoy attractions including world-class museums, luxury hotels, and a wide range of shopping and dining options.
Subject to regulatory approvals, tickets for SIA’s Riyadh services will be progressively made available for sale through the Airline’s distribution channels.
