United Airways
The international expansion was very creative recently. Interesting additions include Adeleideand Bangkokand Bilbaoand Dakarand Virginand Funchaland Ho Chi Minhand NokAnd Palermo. They add to other recent launch operations, such as Sibuand Craysherchand Duprofnikand Dumperand Marrakech, Palma de Mallorca, PunterAnd Tennervi South.
According to the prominent airline network plan, United must think seriously Riyadh Flights, and providing “Virtual Gold Mine” an opportunity. The first passenger operator in North America will serve the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Of course, Sodia is already flying to the United States/Canada, while the air is its upcoming pioneering will inevitably scatter. However, United will get funding from the Saudi Air Force program, which prompted many new roads to the country.
Should United begin Rayd’s trips?
Yes, the source says. Trips should be from United Washington Dallas Hub, although he will compete directly with Saudi Arabia (more later in the article). In 2024, reservation data show that the domestic Dulles-Riyaad market was 69,000 passengers back and forth16 % on year on an annual basis.
And most importantly, the average fare (through all passengers and ambushes) was great $ 2,100 in one direction (Including additional fuel cost). This reflects the large number of passengers who traveled in business and first study. Unlike Jeddah, who has a lot of pilgrims, RIYADH is about visiting friends, relatives, students, commercial and government travel. Thus, the Saudi capital has much higher returns.
“The high -yielding market, and it has a fixed growth, and will provide a strong transit nutrition onwards [via Dulles] To enhance financial performance positively for any new service without stopping. “
But United will compete directly with Saudi Arabia
This is correct. will. Currently, Saudia works on board every two weeks on the first degree 290 seats 777-300ER. Ariyaad Air may work, but it is supposed to replace the saudia. However, United will have three basic competitive weapons.
First, unlike RIYADH AIR (and Saudi Arabia now), it will not compete in the semi-Indian-Indian market, but rather connects traffic from the United States to RIYAADH. Second, United will benefit from the Fly America (more). third, With RIYAHEAR AIR and Delta PartnershipThe focus is likely on the relevant US centers, instead of the Star Alliance Star Center. actually, Delta said that she might fly to Saudi Arabia as soon as A350-1000s arrives.
United must also run three weekly flights, but on board 257 seats 787-9. This variable contains 48 Polaris, 21 Premium Plus, 39 in Economy Plus and only 149 in the ordinary economy. United was winning travelers from the US government, as these passengers were forced to transfer the carrier to/from Saudi Arabia due to the Fly America. This would also apply to other Saudi destinations across Riyadh. United will also get traffic through Dulles, including Los Angeles (40,000), Chicago (14000), Miami (10,000), San Francisco (10,000), Houston (9000), etc. Shipping will also be great.
