Most private flights on this route leave from Al Bateen Executive (AZI) and arrive at King Khalid International (RUH). As an international trip, you clear customs and immigration at the first airport of entry; we confirm passports, visas and permits when you book.
The right aircraft depends on passengers and bags. A turboprop takes about 1h 49m. A light jet takes about 1h 19m. A midsize jet takes about 1h 16m.
Prices are for the whole aircraft and exclude the airport departure fee. Return trips on the same day cost less per leg than two one-way charters, because the aircraft does not reposition empty.
