Saudia has signed a Special Prorate Agreement (SPA) with Myanmar International Airlines to expand travel options between Saudi Arabia and Myanmar, the carrier announced on June 1, Emerging Travel's Arabia desk reported.

Under the agreement, Saudia passengers will be able to book single-itinerary travel between Jeddah or Medina and Yangon via regional hubs including Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Dubai.

The deal allows for coordinated routing across both carriers' networks, aimed at simplifying booking procedures and broadening travel options for passengers on both sides.

Saudia said the agreement formed part of its wider push to expand its presence across Asia and grow connectivity with southeast Asia in response to rising bilateral travel demand.

The airline currently operates to more than 100 destinations across four continents.
