Introductio n
SAUDIA, also known as Saudi Arabian Airlines, took off in 1945 with a single twin-engine aircraft that was a gift from US President Franklin D. Roosevelt to King Abdul Aziz. A few months later, two more aircraft were purchased and a few years later he formed the core of what would become one of the world’s largest airlines.
