Saudia, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's flagship carrier, has introduced its latest Business Class suites on the highly anticipated Airbus A321XLR, setting a new benchmark for premium travel in the region. The airline's innovative approach to luxury and comfort is evident in every detail of these new lie-flat suites, designed to rival the world’s best.
Saudia’s order for 15 Airbus A321XLRs is now well underway, with the first aircraft already in active service as of 2025. As Airbus’ most advanced long-range single-aisle jet, the A321XLR allows Saudia to offer elevated comfort on routes previously only served by wide-body aircraft. The airline has selected a sophisticated suite design, similar to JetBlue’s acclaimed Mint product, featuring a fully closing privacy door for each guest.
These next-generation Business Class suites deliver enhanced seclusion, generous storage solutions, and a fully flat bed for optimal rest. Each suite is equipped with an impressive 18-inch high-definition entertainment screen, intuitive seat controls, and wireless charging capabilities, ensuring that travelers enjoy a seamless and restful journey.
According to Captain Ibrahim Al-Kashi, CEO of Saudia, “At Saudia, we are dedicated to continuous innovation to redefine the onboard experience for our guests. The introduction of our new Business Class suite underscores our commitment to privacy, comfort, and luxury, supported by the latest advancements in airline seating technology.”
As a proud SkyTeam member, Saudia has also expanded its premium fleet with the recent arrival of new Boeing B787 Dreamliners, each offering 24 Business Class seats with direct aisle access, and the addition of state-of-the-art Airbus A321NX aircraft featuring 20 Business Class suites. These investments reflect Saudia’s vision to deliver a world-class journey for every premium traveler.
With a robust fleet of 142 aircraft, Saudia connects travelers to more than 100 destinations on four continents. The airline’s new A321XLRs are now deployed on strategic routes across Europe, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent, including popular cities such as Barcelona, Brussels, Milan, Rome, Dakar, and the Maldives.
