Saudia (SV/SVA) — full-service carrier from Saudi Arabia, based at Jeddah King Abdulaziz (JED), member of SkyTeam.About Saudia
Saudia is the flag carrier of Saudi Arabia and one of the largest airlines in the Middle East, with hubs at Jeddah and Riyadh. It joined SkyTeam in 2012, which puts it in the same alliance as Daxing's dominant Chinese carriers.
It serves a large volume of pilgrimage traffic to Jeddah for Mecca alongside ordinary point-to-point and connecting demand, and alcohol is not served on board.
Saudia flights from Beijing Daxing
Three Saudi cities from Daxing — Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam — which is a wider Saudi network than any other carrier offers from Beijing. Jeddah is the gateway for Mecca and Medina, Riyadh the capital and business centre, and Dammam serves the Eastern Province and the causeway to Bahrain.
Saudia flies from PKX to 3 destinations:
- Dammam
- Jeddah
- Riyadh
Route lists change with the summer and winter schedules, and frequencies change more often than that. For the flights operating today, check the live arrivals and departures boards.
Planning your trip
At Beijing Daxing, Saudia checks in at Level 4 departures (international). Check-in closes 30 minutes before departure on domestic flights and 45 minutes before departure on international ones — Daxing is a large building, and the walk from check-in to a far gate is a real part of your timing.
- No alcohol on board or in the country. Do not carry any in your baggage.
- SkyTeam membership means baggage through-checks with China Eastern and partners at PKX.
- Umrah and Hajj travel has its own visa track and booking peaks — plan much further ahead for those dates.
Getting to the airport takes planning of its own: the Daxing Airport Express and the intercity railway are the fastest options from central Beijing, with taxis and private transfers as the door-to-door alternatives. The airport guide covers terminal layout, security and what is open landside.
