Speaking during the opening ceremony, Consul General to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Kano, Kahlil Ahmed Admawi said Saudi Airline has been in existence in Kano for many decades as the first branch was opened in the state in 1982.
He said over the past years, it has been serving the people of the state by offering thorough guidance to the populace willing to visit Saudi Arabia for businesses, religious and tourism purposes.
“Today, we are pleased with the opening of the new Saudi Airline and the new aircraft. It is the right place to guide those wishing to visit the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and enjoy spending comfortable times and tourism in addition to recreational, cultural and health tourism.”
