Saudi Arabia to introduce electric jets to transport passengers to Makkah

Saudia, the national carrier of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), is set to introduce an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) jet service for transport passengers to the holy city of Makkah and new luxury resorts.

Saudia has already signed a historic deal to acquire a large number



of electric aircraft, in order to enhance its efforts to move towards sustainable transportation and improve travel experience.

In July, the airline signed a deal with German firm Lilium NV to purchase 100 electric aircraft, marking the largest deal in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)
