In another significant partnership, Saudia and Saudi insurance company, Al-Rajhi Takaful have signed an agreement that ensures guests travelling from the Kingdom can secure a comprehensive travel insurance policy online that is accessible, affordable, time-efficient and effortless. Guests start the process on Saudia’s website or mobile app and will automatically be directed to the Al-Rajhi Takaful system to complete the process and benefit from a range of services, including cases of emergencies and claims with special prices.
Shopping experience
Also integral to this mission, Saudia values their pre-existing digital services, for example Skysales. The in-flight shopping experience recognised globally for its high quality of merchandise and excellent value for money, is extended to its customers through on-line shopping. Also integral to Saudia’s customer experience is their extensive inflight entertainment system that was successfully re-launched in 2022 and is constantly being improved. Saudia is proud to provide its entertainment systems with a large library of Islamic content, music, movies and TV programmes. Another feature valued by both leisure as well as business travellers is high-speed WiFi available onboard selected Airbus 330 and Airbus 320 aircrafts for free.
