This came in an interview by Douglas with colleague Eleni Giukos on CNN, where he said: “This (Saudi Arabia) is a member state of the G20 that is now investing strongly in economic diversification, and in the future the second largest part of it will be tourism, and accordingly trillions of dollars have been invested in attracting and attracting tourist attractions.” .
He continued, saying: “We will start flying in the second quarter of 2025. There will be 20 cities a year for 5 years, and by 2030 we will look to connect more than 100 cities. This is the fastest growth for a start-up company of this size seen anywhere.”
In response to a question about why establish a new airline company with the presence of Saudi Airlines? Douglas replied: “It is important to look at the land area of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is more than half the area of Western Europe, and we have the largest population in the Arabian Peninsula, and this country, given the path it is on and the ambition it has, must have global connectivity.”
