## Emirates Enhances Riyadh Travel Experience with New Chauffeur-Drive Service
Emirates, the leading international airline, has taken its commitment to premium travel to new heights by introducing Chauffeur-Drive Services (CDS) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This latest addition to their already impressive service portfolio is now available to passengers flying in First and Business Class to and from King Khalid International Airport.
This complimentary service provides a seamless, door-to-door travel experience, perfectly mirroring the airline’s renowned onboard luxury. Travelers in these premium classes can enjoy the convenience of being chauffeured to and from the airport on any of Emirates’ three daily flights to Riyadh. The CDS covers areas within a 100-kilometer radius of the airport, with charges applicable for distances beyond that.
This latest service expansion in Saudi Arabia underscores Emirates’ broader strategy of elevating its offerings in key global markets. This commitment is further exemplified by their recent US$5.4 million investment in a new dedicated lounge at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah. This spacious 900-square-meter lounge, capable of accommodating 190 guests, caters to both business and leisure travelers, offering a haven of comfort and convenience before their journey.
Riyadh was also the first city in the GCC to receive Emirates’ newly refurbished Boeing 777 in early October, featuring a revamped Business Class and the introduction of the airline’s new Premium Economy seats. This four-class aircraft boasts 24 Premium Economy seats, providing passengers with a more spacious and comfortable flying experience. The updated Business Class cabin offers enhanced privacy features and direct aisle access, elevating the overall travel experience for business travelers. Starting November 22nd, Dammam will also welcome this upgraded aircraft model.
Emirates continues to operate its iconic Airbus A380 to Jeddah, offering passengers state-of-the-art amenities such as the Onboard Lounge, Shower Spa, and private First-Class suites. These unparalleled features further highlight the airline’s dedication to providing exceptional quality and customer satisfaction.
Beyond enhancing the travel experience for its passengers, Emirates plays a crucial role in supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. The airline contributes significantly to the country’s economic growth and tourism development by enhancing international connectivity. This commitment was further emphasized at the Arabian Travel Market this year, where Emirates expanded its interline partnership with Riyadh-based flynas. This partnership facilitates better connectivity across its Saudi gateways to destinations in Europe, the Far East, and beyond, making it easier for travelers to explore the world.
With 72 weekly flights connecting Dubai with four key cities in Saudi Arabia – Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and Medina – Emirates continues to be a leading force in connecting the region to the world, offering unparalleled service and a truly memorable travel experience.
