Saudi Arabia Launched the First Seaplane Company in the Country

Red Sea Global launched Saudi Arabia's first seaplane company Fly Red Sea on Wednesday, Oct. 11.

The company will operate flights to Saudi Arabia's Red Sea island resorts. 

Fly Red Sea has an initial fleet of four Cessna Caravan 208 seaplanes, which will operate on sustainable aviation fuel. 

Each aircraft will be able to accommodate one pilot, six passengers, and luggage for guest transfers to the resorts. 

For scenic tours, the aircraft will be able to carry nine passengers. 

The home base for Fly Red Sea will be the Red Sea International Airport in Hanak, Tabuk.

Fly Red Sea's fleet will expand to nine seaplanes by 2028 and by 2030, the company fleet will include more than 20 seaplanes. 

The seaplanes will make it easier for resort guests to travel to the Red Sea island resorts.
