Delta Becomes First US Airline to Fly to Riyadh This October 2026
The new nonstop route from Atlanta will link two dynamic cities and expand opportunities for travel, business, and cultural exchange.
Delta Air Lines will introduce a new nonstop service connecting Atlanta and Riyadh beginning October 2026, becoming the first US carrier to operate direct flights to the Saudi capital.
The route—one of Delta’s longest at over 7,000 miles—will operate three times a week on the Airbus A350-900, featuring Delta One with lie-flat seats and chef-curated meals, Delta Premium Select with enhanced comfort, as well as Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin options.
The new connection is expected to strengthen travel and business links between Saudi Arabia and the United States, supporting increased tourism, cultural exchange, and economic collaboration. From Delta’s hub at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, passengers will also gain one-stop access to more than 150 U.S. destinations.
