JEDDAH: The Saudi Post (SPL), in collaboration with Riyadh Air, has issued commemorative stamps to mark the launch of the new national carrier’s inaugural flights in October, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The SR3 stamps mark Riyadh Air’s preparatory operational phase and commemorate the beginning of operations for the Kingdom’s carrier, which aims to serve more than 100 destinations worldwide.

Fahd Al-Abdulaziz, SPL’s general manager of corporate communications, said the organization was proud to issue the commemorative stamps and noted that it reflected SPL’s role in documenting key national milestones.

He added that the launch of Riyadh Air flights represented a strategic milestone in the aviation sector, strengthening the Kingdom’s global connectivity and supporting the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.

SPL issued a commemorative stamp earlier this month marking the inclusion of the Al-Faw Archaeological Area on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, making it the Kingdom’s eighth location to receive the prestigious designation.

The Saudi Post, in collaboration with the General Entertainment Authority, issued a series of commemorative stamps in September to mark celebrations of the Kingdom’s 95th Saudi National Day under the slogan “Our Pride is in Our Nature.”

SPL issues commemorative stamps to coincide with major national events and significant international occasions.

Each stamp highlights an important moment or preserves a notable chapter in Saudi history, making them sought after by stamp collectors worldwide and historians keen to document the Kingdom’s journey.
