ITA Airways expands global network with strategic growth in Middle East
ITA Airways, Italy's national flag carrier, continues its ambitious international expansion strategy by reinforcing its presence in the Middle East— one of the world's fastest-growing aviation markets. With the recent launch of new nonstop routes to key destinations across the Gulf region, the airline is connecting Italy with high-potential international markets, supporting trade, tourism, and cultural exchange. These new routes mark a significant step in ITA Airways' long-term vision to establish Rome Fiumicino as a major intercontinental hub. Operated by the cutting-edge Airbus A321neo, the Middle Eastern routes offer passengers a refined travel experience with a three-class cabin configuration — Business, Premium Economy, and Economy. The aircraft also underscores ITA Airways' sustainability mission, delivering over 20 percent lower fuel consumption and carbon emissions per seat, along with a 50 percent reduction in noise impact compared to previous-generation models. Passengers flying to and from the Middle East benefit from seamless connections across ITA Airways' growing network, covering Europe, the Americas, and North Africa, supported by optimized transit through Rome Fiumicino Airport. Further enhancing the customer journey, ITA Airways recently unveiled its new premium Runway Lounge at Milan Linate Airport — an elegant space that embodies Italian design and excellence. Developed in collaboration with iconic Italian brands such as Campari Group, illycaffè, iGuzzini, and Poltrona Frau, the lounge offers a luxurious and uniquely Italian ambiance. To celebrate the launch, a fashion show curated by Italian label Silence Please featured designs inspired by ITA Airways' intercontinental destinations, reinforcing the brand's connection to Italian creativity and global elegance. Commenting on the expansion, Jörg Eberhart, CEO of ITA Airways, said: 'Our growing footprint in the Middle East is a clear reflection of our long-term commitment to building sustainable and meaningful connections between Europe and this dynamic region. ITA Airways is dedicated to providing a premium and authentically Italian travel experience, supported by a modern fleet and seamless global connectivity. These new routes go beyond commercial value — they represent a vision of smarter, more connected travel that brings people, cultures, and economies closer together.' As part of its broader growth strategy, ITA Airways continues to invest in fleet renewal, aiming for 90 percent of its aircraft to be next-generation models by 2027 — making it one of the youngest and most environmentally responsible fleets in Europe. Backed by the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Italy and Deutsche Lufthansa AG, ITA Airways is steadily establishing itself as a key player in global aviation, driven by innovation, sustainability, and an unmistakable Italian style.

RIYADH: Egypt's prime minister has instructed his government to prepare a package of investment opportunities for US firms, aiming to strengthen bilateral relations. In a meeting with his Cabinet ministers, Mostafa Madbouly stated that several opportunities are available, particularly given the significant advantages offered by the country's government to foreign investors, according to Egypt's State Information Service. Egypt is intensifying efforts to attract foreign direct investment as part of its broader economic reform agenda and Vision 2030 strategy for sustainable development. Amid global headwinds and domestic economic challenges, the Egyptian government has launched several initiatives to deepen economic partnerships with major international players, notably the US. One key milestone in this effort was the US–Egypt Policy Leaders Forum 2025, held in May, at which Madbouly announced that over 1,800 US companies are currently operating in the country, generating $47 billion in investments over the past two decades. Discussing the latest Cabinet meeting, the Egyptian State Information Service reported that Madbouly 'highlighted the government's interest in supporting Egyptian-US relations in light of the strategic and historical ties between the two sides, noting the many opportunities for cooperation that could be exploited to support joint collaboration.' The Egyptian prime minister added that his government is keen to remove all obstacles to joint cooperation, as well as to propose specific projects that will be discussed for collaboration in the upcoming period. During the gathering, Egypt's Minister of Industry and Transport, Kamel Al-Wazir, reviewed investment opportunities presented to US companies in sectors such as ports, maritime transport, and industrial zones. Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation Rania El-Mashat outlined Egypt's development cooperation efforts with the US, highlighting successful collaborative programs that contribute to the country's development and further strengthen relations between the two sides. At the conclusion of the meeting, Madbouly instructed all relevant authorities to coordinate on preparing a set of promising investment opportunities and to ensure they are presented to US companies, to boost foreign direct investment in Egypt. Egypt, Germany in talks for €100m debt swap deal International Cooperation Minister Rania Al-Mashat spoke at a joint press conference in Cairo with Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Germany's Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Reem Alabali-Radovan.

Saudi Arabian Bank SNB Reports 17% Jump in Second-quarter Profit
Saudi National Bank (SNB) reported a 17.3% jump in second-quarter net profit on Monday, driven by higher income and lower net impairment charges. SNB's shares jumped 1.8% at market open after the results, and have risen just over 10% since January. The Kingdom's biggest lender by assets said it made a net profit of 6.1 billion riyals ($1.63 billion) in the quarter ended June 30, higher than the 5.6 billion riyals analysts were expecting, and compared with 5.2 billion riyals in the year-earlier period. SNB said the results were driven by higher net special commission income and operating income, in addition to lower net impairment charges for expected credit losses. According to Reuters, SNB said pre-provision credit was driven by strong credit quality and higher recoveries. SNB will pay a first-half dividend after zakat, an Islamic tax, worth 1 riyal per share to 6 billion eligible shares, according to a separate bourse disclosure that followed the results.
