Air France has announced that it will suspend flights to Saudi capital Riyadh from February 1 due to the route’s poor “economic performance”.

However, Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia), which has a cooperation agreement with the French airline, will continue operating direct flights between Paris and Riyadh and honour Air France tickets booked before the announcement, a statement said.
