Qatar Airways to launch Saudi operations by Q3

Qatar Airways has reached agreement with Saudi authorities on solving problems that blocked its entry into Saudi Arabia’s domestic market, and plans to start operating there by the end of the third quarter, its chief executive said yesterday.

Al Maha Airways (Riyadh) is set to begin operating domestic Saudi Arabian services "shortly" a report in Qatar's Al-Sharq newspaper has claimed. The paper claims the Qatar Airways-backed start-up will initially use a fleet of nine A320-200 aircraft for operations which will be limited to flights between Jeddah and Riyadh initially before branching off into the Kingdom's second-tier cities.

It is currently unknown whether or not Al Maha has secured its Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) though Qatar Airways CEO Akbar al Baker did state in June that the carrier was well advanced in its certification with the Saudi authorities.

Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Civil Aviation (GACA) confirmed Al Maha was on track for a November launch.
