Delta signs codeshare agreement with Saudia
Delta Air Lines signed a codeshare agreement* with Saudia Airlines, the national flag carrier of Saudi Arabia. The agreement builds on the airlines’ existing interline relationship and will expand the choice of destinations for Delta customers between North America and the Arabian Peninsula.
The carriers have applied for necessary codesharing authority and will start selling codeshare itineraries once all government approvals have been received.
Delta customers will gain access to nine destinations in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East beyond Saudia’s hubs in Jeddah and Riyadh. Saudia guests will gain access to 12 destinations in the U.S. beyond Delta’s hubs at JFK and LAX airports.

Delta and Saudia are both members of the SkyTeam alliance. Frequent Flyers will continue to earn and redeem miles on both airlines, while SkyTeam Elite Plus travelers benefit from SkyPriority services.
“Saudia’s growing Jeddah hub and extensive network bring Delta customers closer to greater access to destinations across one of the world’s most important economic regions. Strengthening our partnership responds to customer demand for more travel choice between the Gulf and North America”, Perry Cantarutti, Senior Vice President Alliances, said.
“Signing this codeshare agreement with Delta Air Lines reflects Saudia’s commitment to expanding its flight network, providing seamless travel experiences and enhancing its global connectivity”, Arved Von Zur Muehlen, Chief Commercial Officer at Saudia, said.
