Red Sea Global Marks Milestone with New Riyadh to Red Sea International Airport Service
Red Sea Global (RSG), the visionary developer spearheading the creation of two transformative tourism destinations, The Red Sea and Amaala, is rejoicing as the wheels of progress touch the tarmac of the Red Sea International Airport (RSI) runway on September 21, 2023. This momentous occasion marks the inaugural flight to RSI, a game-changing development for the region.
Embarking on a New Journey
Every Thursday and Saturday, travellers can now board SAUDIA flights departing from King Khalid International Airport (RUH) in Riyadh for a remarkable journey to RSI. With a flight duration of just under two hours, this new service ushers in a fresh era for The Red Sea, setting the stage for the arrival of global visitors eager to experience its unique offerings.
The Vision Takes Flight
John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global, expressed his excitement, saying, “We promised to make The Red Sea a place where people from all around the world would come to experience the best of Saudi culture, hospitality, and nature. Now, with the first flight touching down at Red Sea International Airport, and our first resorts receiving bookings, Saudi Arabia’s position on the global tourism map is all but secured.”
Starting September 21, 2023, flights depart RUH each Thursday at 10:50 AM, with return flights from RSI at 1:35 PM. Additionally, a second service departs RUH every Saturday at 12:50 PM, with the return flight to RUH departing at 3:35 PM.
Gateway to Adventure
Positioned within an eight-hour flight from 85 per cent of the world’s population, RSI is poised to become an international aviation hub as it welcomes flights from around the globe in the coming year, coinciding with the opening of phase one resorts.
Unveiling the RSI Brand
On the same day as the first flight’s arrival, RSG revealed the brand identity for RSI, encapsulating the essence of this sun-soaked destination. The brand’s influence extends to the airport terminal, staff uniforms, and electric mobility vehicles, ensuring a consistent and memorable experience for travellers.
John Pagano further emphasized the significance of the brand, stating, “RSI is the gateway to The Red Sea destination. It is the first impression visitors have, and their parting memory when they leave. The brand echoes the qualities of the five-star hospitality guests will enjoy across the destination.”
The brand’s icon is a representation of Red Sea International Airport’s unique architectural design, inspired by an aerial view of the airport’s exterior. It has been meticulously crafted to convey the brand’s creativity, innovation, and sophistication in a contemporary and distinctive manner.
The Red Sea Experience
The Red Sea is poised to deliver extraordinary guest experiences, firmly establishing Saudi Arabia as a premier luxury destination offering a vibrant culture, robust economy, and a year-round calendar of events for all to enjoy.
The first phase of The Red Sea’s development includes the unveiling of three remarkable hotels: Six Senses Southern Dunes, The Red Sea, followed closely by St. Regis Red Sea Resort, and Nujuma Ritz-Carlton Reserve on the Ummahat Islands.
Upon its full completion in 2030, this visionary destination will encompass 50 resorts, boasting up to 8,000 hotel rooms and over 1,000 residential properties spread across 22 islands and six inland sites. The destination will also feature luxury marinas, golf courses, entertainment venues, dining establishments, and leisure facilities, offering an unparalleled experience to all who visit.
