Saudia Partners With Six Flags And Aquarabia Qiddiya City To Elevate Saudi Entertainment Tourism

Saudia has entered a five-year strategic partnership with Six Flags and Aquarabia Qiddiya City, becoming the exclusive premier partner in the airline category. The agreement links the national carrier with one of Qiddiya City’s key entertainment anchors, aiming to support Saudi Arabia’s tourism ambitions under Vision 2030.

Under the deal, Saudia will design dedicated travel packages that combine flights with access to Six Flags Qiddiya City and Aquarabia Qiddiya City. The airline also plans special aircraft branding, bringing park imagery onto selected planes in Saudia’s fleet and extending the theme park identity into the travel experience.

Chief Marketing Officer of Saudia Group Khaled Tash said in a statement: "Saudia is committed to supporting national development projects as part of its contribution to Vision 2030, aligned with our strategy to bring the world to the Kingdom. Partnerships of this scale with national partners play a key role in positioning Saudi Arabia as a leading global destination for entertainment and tourism."

Park President of Six Flags and Aquarabia Qiddiya City Brian Machamer highlighted the tourism focus of the agreement, stating: "Our partnership with Saudia not only reflects a shared ambition to connect the Kingdom to the world through world-class entertainment experiences, but strengthens our ability to attract visitors from around the world and realize our vision of setting a new global benchmark for immersive, world-class theme park entertainment and reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s growing presence on the global tourism stage."

Qiddiya City is taking shape in the Tuwaiq Mountains near Riyadh as a major destination that brings together entertainment, sport and culture. Six Flags Qiddiya City and Aquarabia Qiddiya City are central parts of this wider development, which targets both domestic visitors and international tourists.

Six Flags Qiddiya City is planned across six themed lands, each with its own style and attractions. The park offers 28 rides and experiences built to international standards, including five exclusive rides that set new records in engineering performance and thrill levels for regional and global theme park visitors.

A flagship ride at Six Flags Qiddiya City is Falcons Flight, which has gained global attention. The coaster is described as the fastest, tallest and longest in the world, reflecting Qiddiya City’s aim to host signature attractions that stand out within the worldwide theme park industry.

Aquarabia Qiddiya City is designed as a large water-based entertainment destination, offering 22 rides and water attractions. The park includes a man-made river created for relaxation and family activities, along with 91 luxury cabanas that provide private spaces and comfort for guests seeking a more exclusive visit.

Through the partnership with Six Flags and Aquarabia Qiddiya City, Saudia links its network with one of Qiddiya City’s signature projects and supports Saudi Arabia’s aim to attract more visitors. The agreement combines aviation, destination branding and large-scale leisure facilities within a single coordinated tourism offering.
