Saudi Arabian Airlines has signed an agreement to join the SkyTeam alliance in 2012. The airline will be SkyTeam’s first member from the Middle East, and will add 35 new destinations to the alliance’s network. The airline’s inclusion makes it the first SkyTeam member to fly to Colombo and Islamabad. The move marks the latest stage in SkyTeam’s membership drive, which is focusing on emerging markets such as Asia and Latin America.
“Saudi Arabian Airlines is a significant player in the Middle East and covers a considerable part of the Arabian Peninsula and the Indian subcontinent. Its membership in SkyTeam will enable us to compete more efficiently within the region,” said Leo van Wijk, Chairman of SkyTeam.
