Jeddah : Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAUDIA), the national flag carrier of Saudi Arabia, has been ranked a Five-Star Global Airline by the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX).
The APEX Official Airline Rating is the first airline rating programme based solely on certified passenger feedback.
The industry's most anticipated honor is based on neutral, third-party passenger feedback and insights.
During the Future Travel Experience APEX Virtual Expo, an awards ceremony was held and SAUDIA was delighted to be awarded the Five-Star accolade.
Using a five-star scale, more than one million flights have been rated by passengers across nearly 600 airlines from around the world and independently certified by a professional external auditing company.
Saudia previously received the Four-Star rating from APEX in 2017.
This year marks the 75th anniversary for Saudi Arabia's award-winning national flag carrier. SAUDIA is one of the first airlines to be established in the Middle East region.
In recent years the airline has invested significantly in its fleet of 144 narrow and widebody aircraft and operates one of the youngest fleets in the skies, with an average aircraft age of 5 years.
The airline route network includes more than 95 destinations across four continents to all 28 domestic airports in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
