Saudia has announced a temporary suspension of its direct flights between Jeddah and Los Angeles during the upcoming winter months. The Saudi Arabian airline will halt its three weekly flights from January 22, 2026, to May 12, 2026, due to low demand for air travel between these destinations during this period.
The global travel industry often experiences reduced activity in February and March. Historically, Saudia has also adjusted its flight schedules accordingly. Last winter, the airline operated a limited number of flights on this route and completely suspended it until May. Data from Cirium showed that in February 2024, only eight flights were operated, with plans for just 18 flights in May.
In previous years, such as 2023, Saudia continued operations but faced low load factors during these months. According to Cirium data, the load factor was recorded at 64% in February 2023 and increased slightly to 70% in March before dropping to 52% in April.
