Saudia is the first flag carrier of Saudi Arabia, headquartered in Jeddah. Its main hub is King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, with secondary hubs at Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Medina and King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, and a hub at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which it plans to vacate by 2030 for the launch of Riyadh Air.

Saudia primarily serves the Middle East and North Africa market and operates scheduled domestic and international flights to over 100 destinations across Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. Charter flights are typically operated during the Ramadan and Hajj seasons. The airline has been a member of the SkyTeam airline alliance since 29 May 2012, becoming the first carrier from the Middle East to join the alliance. Saudia is also a founding member of the Arab Air Carriers' Organization, having joined in 1965.
