Poland in Saudi Arabia

A direct flight connection operated by LOT Polish Airlines between Warsaw and Riyadh will be inaugurated on 4 June. Three flights per week are planned; the route is expected to be year-round. This arrangement was made possible thanks to the air service agreement signed on 28 August 2023 by the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure and the Saudi Ministry of Transport and Logistics.

The planes will take off from Warsaw on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:20 PM and land in Riyadh at 9:50 PM at Terminal 3 of King Khaled International Airport. They will make their return journey on Fridays, Mondays and Wednesdays at 1:25 AM to land at Warsaw Okęcie at 6:10 AM

The flights on the Warsaw-Riyadh route are in line with the growing interest of both Polish business and tourists in Saudi Arabia, as well as the significantly increasing popularity of Poland as a tourist destination among the Saudis.

The Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Riyadh was involved in the promotion of flights from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Poland, starting on 4 January this year, conducting a monthly campaign to promote Polish cities, regions and other tourist attractions in Arabic and English on the X platform and the Embassy's website. The event was also promoted during the Third of May reception (Ambassador's speech and the screening of a promotional film by the Polish Tourist Organisation), as well as during the Ambassador's participation in the European Economic Congress in Katowice on 7-9 May this year and in the Export Forum in Lublin on 20 March this year. In addition to that, Ambassador Robert Rostek gave an interview to the Diplomatic Quarter Living Magazine, in which, among other aspects of Polish-Saudi cooperation, he mentioned the inauguration of the direct flights.
