In a significant shift, U.S. carrier Delta Air Lines will launch non-stop flights between Atlanta (ATL) and Riyadh (RUH) starting October 2026 — the first direct U.S.–Saudi non-stop service. The route will operate three times a week using an Airbus A350 - it marks a major deepening of connectivity between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
