Red Sea Global, the developer behind The Red Sea and AMAALA, is set to launch its first international flight to Red Sea International Airport. Flydubai launches a twice-weekly route to The Red Sea from Dubai International, increasing the weekly service from Saudia’s regular schedule to eight. RSI was built to provide an easy route for guests travelling to The Red Sea. The luxury resorts Six Senses Southern Dunes, The Red Sea, and St. Regis Red Sea Resort are also opening in the destination, with three more on track to open this year.
“Situated within three hours flying time of 250 million people, RSI will serve one million guests a year at full capacity. Our inaugural flight just six months ago was the start of our journey towards reaching that goal, and this first international flight is a further step in making Saudi Arabia one of the top tourism destinations globally. We are looking forward to truly opening up to the world and welcoming visitors from the UAE, wider Middle East region and beyond,” said John Pagano, Group CEO at Red Sea Global.
RSI is on track to become the first carbon-neutral airport in the Middle East, implementing sustainability solutions to eliminate carbon emissions, optimize energy consumption, and improve resource and waste management. RSI’s innovative design includes a terminal divided into five mini terminals, reducing energy use.
