Saudia selects winners of ‘2 Million Miles’ context

The Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia) mobile app, available on Android and Apple, has been downloaded more than 2.2 million times.

To celebrate the landmark milestone, the airline ran a contest to award 2 million Alfursan miles to 10 winners. Each winner will win 200,000 miles to use on any journey they choose to redeem the miles for.

The “2 Million Miles” contest required participants to meet certain criteria and join the airline’s Alfursan loyalty program, if they are not enrolled already.

More than 10,000 people entered the contest and a random draw took place this week at the Saudia headquarters to select the 10 winners.

The mobile app has recently been updated with new features, including seat selection, Al-Bayraq booking options, and 3DS secure payment system for new bookings.

The mobile app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for Android users.

The app user interface has also undergone a number of enhancements since it was first introduced, making the user experience simpler and faster to use when making a booking and ticket purchase from a mobile device.

Saudia currently operates to 89 destinations across four continents and has more than 500 departures daily — set to double to more than 1,000 by 2020.

The airline has been named the “World’s Most Improved Airline of 2017” by Skytrax at the Paris Air Show in June this year.
