Transavia France, a subsidiary of Air France-KLM, has announced plans to launch direct flights from Paris to Madinah starting in October 2025.
The move marks a significant step in enhancing religious and leisure travel between Europe and Saudi Arabia.
The new route is part of Transavia’s broader expansion into the Middle East, made possible through its partnership with Saudi Arabia’s Air Connectivity Program.
This initiative aims to improve access to key Saudi cities and boost international flight operations into the Kingdom.
Fahd Hamidaddin, CEO of the Air Connectivity Program, emphasized that this collaboration supports the Kingdom’s vision to position Madinah as a global spiritual and cultural destination, in line with Saudi Vision 2030’s tourism goals.
The direct connection is expected to facilitate travel for European pilgrims and tourists alike, strengthening Madinah’s role as a hub for faith and heritage experiences.
