Northwest Bus Marks Inauguration of New Headquarters at Haramain Station in Jeddah and Greets its One-Millionth Traveler!
In a grand celebration attended by senior officials and influential figures in the transportation sector, Northwest Bus, the modern company headquartered in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, marked a significant achievement. The one millionth passenger was celebrated at the event, a milestone reached in less than a year since the company's inception following the merger of Saudi Qaid and Moventis, Spain.
According to the event organisers, Northwest Bus focuses on customer satisfaction, timeliness, and open communication for an exceptional travel experience. The company provides modern and environmentally friendly transportation options, with a new fleet of buses equipped with the latest technologies and amenities.
Among the attendees were Faisal Al-Qaid, CEO of Saudi Qaid Transport Company, Jordi Castells Porta, CEO of Moventis, Carl Y*e*aman, CEO of Northwest Bus, and Salah Al-Qaid, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Northwest Bus. The event included a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open the headquarters at Al-Haramain Train Station in Sulaymaniyah, Jeddah.
Northwest Bus's commitment to developing the transportation sector in Saudi Arabia according to the highest global standards was evident in the advanced facilities and operational capabilities showcased during guided tours. The achievement reinforces Northwest Bus's position as a leading transportation company in the Kingdom, aligning with Saudi Arabia's 2030 vision and National Strategy objectives.
Meanwhile, in the air transport sector, flyadeal, a Saudi budget carrier, has made headlines for its rapid growth. The first Saudi transportation company to reach one million passengers in less than a year, flyadeal achieved this milestone by offering affordable travel options and significant promotional sales. Passenger numbers increased by 25% to over five million compared to the same period in 2024, outstripping capacity growth.
Flyadeal's success is a vital step in Saudi Arabia's national goals to improve transport connectivity and enhance the affordability and accessibility of air travel within the Kingdom. The growth of low-cost carriers like flyadeal complements broader national strategies, such as the Aviation Program under the National Transport and Logistics Strategy, aiming to significantly increase air passenger numbers and develop Saudi Arabia as a regional aviation hub by 2030.
In summary, both Northwest Bus and flyadeal are driving transformative momentum in Saudi Arabia's transport sector, contributing strongly to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goals of expanding air travel capacity and connectivity.
In alignment with the transportation sector's growth, Northwest Bus, the recently merged company between Saudi Qaid and Moventis, has also made strides in the finance industry by securing significant investments for its expansion, enabling the purchase of environmentally friendly bus fleets.
Meanwhile, the success of flyadeal in the air transport sector has not only boosted the affordability and accessibility of air travel but has also contributed to the Kingdom's economic growth, as the rise in passenger numbers has bolstered the finance industry, with increased revenue from ticket sales and ancillary services.
