Emirates has introduced its Chauffeur-Drive Services (CDS) in Riyadh, offering First and Business Class passengers a door-to-door travel experience. This service is available for customers traveling on any of the airline's three daily flights to and from King Khalid International Airport. The service is complimentary within a 100-kilometer radius of the airport, with additional charges applicable beyond this range.

The CDS can be booked through Emirates' website, call centers, or travel agents. Emirates now offers this service in over 70 cities across its network.

This move aligns with Emirates' strategy to enhance its services in Saudi Arabia, one of its key markets. Recently, the airline opened a new lounge at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, which accommodates up to 190 guests and caters to both business and leisure travelers.

In October, Riyadh became the first destination in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region to host Emirates' refurbished Boeing 777 aircraft. This aircraft features an upgraded Business Class cabin and Premium Economy seats. Dammam will also receive these retrofitted planes starting November 22.

Additionally, Emirates operates Airbus A380 flights to Jeddah three times daily. These flights include amenities such as an Onboard Lounge and Shower Spa.

Emirates continues to support Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 by enhancing international connectivity and promoting tourism. The airline recently expanded its partnership with flynas at the Arabian Travel Market (ATM), allowing for better connectivity across destinations via flynas domestic points within Saudi Arabia.

Currently, Emirates runs 72 weekly flights between Dubai and various cities in Saudi Arabia including Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and Medina.
