Emirates Rolls Out Chauffeur Service in Riyadh

Emirates has launched Chauffeur-Drive Services (CDS) in Riyadh, enhancing the travel experience for premium passengers arriving at and departing from King Khalid International Airport. Customers travelling in First and Business Class can enjoy a stress-free, comfortable journey with a door-to-door service that reflects the airline’s expertise and premium offerings.

First-Class and Business-Class customers can request the Chauffeur Drive Service (CDS) on any of the airline’s three daily flights to and from Riyadh. This exclusive service is complimentary for customers within a 100-kilometre radius of the airport. Additional charges will apply for areas beyond this radius. Currently, Emirates Chauffeur Drive Services are offered in over 70 cities within the Emirates network.

Bringing a new level of comfort and luxury to Saudi Arabia

Emirates’ recent investments in its operations in the Kingdom underpin the airline’s commitment to bringing a new, heightened level of service and hospitality, both in the air and on the ground, for customers flying to and from one of Emirates’ most important markets globally.

This includes a new dedicated lounge at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah. The US$5.4 million, 900-square-metre lounge located in the airport’s newest Terminal 1 welcomes 190 guests at any one time, with seating tailored to the needs of business and leisure travellers.

In early October, Riyadh became Emirates’ first GCC destination to welcome the airline’s refurbished Boeing 777, offering passengers an all-new Business Class cabin and highly acclaimed Premium Economy seats. The four-class Emirates Boeing 777 offers 24 Premium Economy seats, allowing customers to treat themselves to a more spacious seat and premium experience for their business or leisure trips. The airline’s upgraded Boeing 777 Business Class cabin offers more privacy, direct aisle access, and other luxurious features. From 22 November, Dammam will become the second destination in the Kingdom to be served with the retrofitted Emirates Boeing 777.

The airline also operates its iconic Airbus A380 on triple-daily flights to Jeddah, all equipped with its latest best-in-class products and services, including its exclusive Onboard Lounge, Shower Spa, private First-Class suites, and an array of other signature cabin features. 

Emirates is also committed to playing a pivotal role in supporting the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 plans, underscoring aviation’s key role in facilitating international connectivity, boosting tourism, and fostering economic growth. At this year’s Arabian Travel Market (ATM), Emirates announced an expanded two-way interline partnership with the Riyadh-based flynas. The agreement helps flynas travellers connect across any of Emirates’ gateways in KSA to select onward destinations on the airline’s network in the Far East, West Asia & Indian Ocean and Europe. Emirates customers enjoy connectivity to over 15 domestic points in the Kingdom via its four gateways on flynas flights.

Emirates operates 72 weekly flights between Dubai and Saudi Arabia through its four gateways - Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and Medina.
