Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia) will launch its direct flights from Riyadh to the Maldives on March 30. The national carrier will operate two weekly flights to and from the islands. Within its promotion campaign for the new route, Saudi has organized an on-line competition about its next destination. The prize will be two return tickets on the business class one for the winner and the other for a companion. Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Harbe and Saad bin Raheem Al-Mutairi were the two winners.
