Lufthansa to Relaunch Riyadh–Munich Route
Lufthansa is set to expand its presence in Saudi Arabia by around 50 per cent with the relaunch of its non-stop Riyadh–Munich service from October 27, 2025. The route, last operated in 2017, will connect the Saudi capital directly to the airline's five-star Skytrax-rated Munich hub, enhancing links to Lufthansa's global network. Operating every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Flight LH641 will depart Riyadh at 6.25 am, arriving in Munich at 10.25 am — offering ideal onward connections to more than 130 destinations across Europe, America, and Asia. The return service will operate on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday, departing Munich at 9.45 pm and arriving in Riyadh at 4.50am the following morning. The service will be operated by the Airbus A350-900, seating 293 passengers across Business, Premium Economy, and Economy Class. Economy return fares will start at SR1,495 ($399). This new connection complements Lufthansa's daily Riyadh–Frankfurt service and boosts total Lufthansa Group flights to Saudi Arabia to 25 per week, including operations by ITA Airways and Eurowings. Across the Middle East, the Lufthansa Group now serves the region more than 120 times weekly. Sadiq Mohamed, General Manager Sales Saudi Arabia at Lufthansa Group Airlines, said: 'Munich is one of the most popular destinations in Western Europe for many of our customers. The airport itself is a relaxing, convenient, and beautiful gateway, whether travellers are connecting onward or visiting the city and its stunning surrounding region, known for its castles and picturesque lakes near the Alps.' The renewed route comes as demand for Riyadh flights grows, supported by Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 agenda, major global events such as Expo 2030 and the FIFA Men's World Cup 2034, and the city's ongoing economic transformation.

HONOR Empowers Saudi Customers with New Contact Center and VIP Support Experience
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – HONOR has officially launched its new Contact Center in Saudi Arabia, a major milestone in the brand's efforts to expand its customer service operations in the region. Built to provide localized, responsive, and high-quality support, the new center reinforces HONOR's commitment to putting customers first through a customer-centric, service-oriented approach. With a growing user base across the Kingdom, the HONOR KSA Contact Center is designed to meet a wide range of customer needs – from product inquiries and technical support to e-commerce services and VIP assistance. The facility brings together local expertise, multiple communication channels, and specialized services to ensure every HONOR user receives timely and professional support. Multichannel Support for Maximum Accessibility The center supports a wide range of communication methods to give users more flexibility in how they connect. Customers can reach HONOR via traditional voice hotlines for service or e-commerce inquiries (inbound and outbound), an exclusive VIP hotline, live online chat, email, WhatsApp, and HONOR's official social media platforms. This multichannel setup ensures that whether customers prefer speaking with an agent, chatting online, or sending a quick message, they can always expect prompt and reliable assistance. Operating 12 hours and seven days a week, the Contact Center offers support whenever needed. This daily availability ensures that customers across Saudi Arabia can count on accessible support. More Than Just Support – A Full-Service Experience Beyond resolving questions and technical issues, the HONOR KSA Contact Center also provides broader support services, including e-commerce order management, after-sales service, and complaint resolution. Customers with order-related queries or service concerns can receive help from a team trained to handle various stages of the ownership journey. A key part of this service model is HONOR's VIP support, which provides high-tier users with exclusive access to personalized assistance. VIP customers benefit from a dedicated hotline, prioritized response times, and attention from more senior agents. This added layer of service is designed to elevate the experience for HONOR's most loyal users and provide them with faster, more tailored care. To ensure this model operates efficiently, the Contact Center uses skill-based agent assignment, by matching inquiries with team members based on experience and specialization. More complex or high-value interactions – particularly from VIP users – are directed to senior agents who are equipped to deliver detailed, effective support. Local Expertise with a Cultural Focus One of the core strengths of the HONOR KSA Contact Center is its fully local team. Every support agent is a Saudi national, selected for their deep understanding of local culture, language, and customer expectations. This approach not only ensures smoother communication, but also allows HONOR to build more authentic and trusted relationships with its users. To maintain quality and consistency, agents undergo ongoing training and professional development. HONOR's operational model emphasizes both technical proficiency and cultural fluency, ensuring that every interaction reflects the brand's values and service standards. By equipping staff with local knowledge and clear communication skills, the center strengthens HONOR's ability to deliver relevant, customer-first service – an essential factor in a diverse and fast-evolving market like Saudi Arabia. Supporting HONOR's Growth in the Region The launch of the HONOR KSA Contact Center aligns with the brand's broader regional strategy. As HONOR continues to grow its footprint in the Middle East, investing in localized infrastructure is a key part of its plan to deliver meaningful value to customers beyond just the product itself. This initiative underscores HONOR's commitment to listening to customer feedback, refining service operations, and improving satisfaction at every stage of the user journey. By providing more direct, accessible, and culturally attuned support, HONOR is deepening its relationship with users across the Kingdom – and positioning itself for long-term success in the region.
