Saudi Arabia’s national carrier nasair is gearing up to exhibit at the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2013. The carrier will have a dedicated stand showcasing its services, fares and latest offers.
ATM is taking place at Dubai International Exhibition and Conference Center.
“This is the fifth consecutive year for nasair to be part of this respected trade fair and we are extremely excited to reconnect with industry partners. ATM provides the ideal international aviation platform to discuss our new focus on Dubai and share our key announcements,” nasair’s CEO Captain Francois Bouteiller said.
The carrier has shown continuous growth over the past year since it last attended ATM.
Since its launch in February 2007, nasair has provided competitively priced travel to more than 11 million passengers on both domestic and international routes and is currently operating 950 flights per week.
Captain Francois added: “Nasair has remained a pioneer in the Saudi industry with more than 88 routes now flying in and out of Saudi Arabia.”
He said: “Our growth over the past year reflects the increase in demand for safe and affordable travel. With our upcoming involvement at the new Dubai World Central (DWC), Dubai’s second airport, we look forward to strengthening ties with Dubai in order to provide even better services to our customers.”
The CEO said: “As one of the leading airlines in the MENA, we are extremely excited to be the first airline to launch passenger services from the DWC on Oct. 28.”
According to Business Monitor International (BMI), the number of tourists heading to the Kingdom is expected to reach 15.8 million by 2014.
Earlier this year, nasair also celebrated a historical milestone by reaching over one million fans on its Facebook page.

Azure opens Azure Takhassusi residential community in Riyadh, fully leased to Saudia
Azure, a Mohammed Al Habib Real Estate company and the owner of Riyadh’s largest portfolio of residential compounds, has announced the official opening of Azure Takhassusi, its newest premium residential community. The project has been fully leased to Saudia, the Kingdom’s national flag carrier.
The launch marks a major milestone in the eight-year partnership between Azure and Saudia, one of the longest-running and most successful corporate housing collaborations in Saudi Arabia. The development reflects Saudia’s continued confidence in Azure’s ability to deliver high-quality residential environments that meet strict standards of comfort, privacy, service excellence and operational reliability.
Purpose-built to support the wellbeing and lifestyle needs of airline professionals, Azure Takhassusi offers more than accommodation. The community provides a fully integrated living experience, combining modern residences, premium facilities, dedicated resident services and professional community management. Designed to promote stability, convenience and peace of mind, the compound allows employees to focus on their professional responsibilities with confidence.
“This opening represents more than the launch of a new residential compound,” said Fahad Al Assaf, president of Azure. “It is a strong statement of trust built over eight years of partnership with Saudia. Azure Takhassusi reflects what long-term collaboration can achieve when two organizations share a commitment to quality, people and performance.”
For Saudia, fully leasing Azure Takhassusi underscores the airline’s continued investment in its workforce. By providing secure, comfortable and professionally managed housing, the airline aims to strengthen its employee value proposition, recognizing the role that high-quality living environments play in attracting and retaining talent.
Azure currently operates the largest portfolio of residential compounds in Riyadh and is a market leader in corporate housing for major institutions across the Kingdom. Its partnership with Saudia remains one of its most significant, spanning eight years of steady growth and large-scale delivery.
The opening of Azure Takhassusi marks another milestone in that journey, setting a new benchmark for corporate housing that supports workforce wellbeing, operational excellence and long-term partnerships in Saudi Arabia.
