Red Sea International Airport is increasing capacity for Eid Al-Adha, with 80 inbound and outbound flights scheduled between 21 and 31 May 2026.
The expanded programme will offer more than 15,000 seats across domestic and international routes, supporting stronger access to The Red Sea during one of the region’s busiest holiday periods.
More domestic capacity from Riyadh and Jeddah
Domestic operations will account for 64 flight movements during the Eid period, including 32 additional services beyond the airport’s regular schedule.
Saudia will operate 46 flights between Riyadh and Red Sea International Airport, alongside 18 flights linking Jeddah with the coastal destination.
In total, the domestic schedule will provide more than 10,000 inbound and outbound seats for travellers moving through Riyadh and Jeddah.
Dubai and Doha links support international arrivals
International services will add close to 5,000 seats through 16 flight movements from Dubai and Doha.
flydubai will operate eight flights between Dubai International and Red Sea International Airport, while Qatar Airways will run eight flights between Doha and RSI.
The added regional links give travellers from the Gulf a more direct route into The Red Sea destination during the public holiday window.
A smoother holiday gateway for The Red Sea
Operated by daa International, Red Sea International Airport is positioning the Eid schedule as part of a broader hospitality push for arriving guests.
Travellers can expect dedicated Eid activations and arrival experiences designed to support the airport’s “Seamlessly Welcoming the World” approach.
The additional seats should help ease peak-season movement into The Red Sea resorts, particularly as holiday demand rises across domestic and Gulf markets.
For visitors planning an Eid escape, the expanded schedule means more choice, better connectivity and a simpler route into one of Saudi Arabia’s most closely watched tourism destinations.
