"Since its launch, Wataniya Airways has always been my first choice for travel due to its high quality of services and the outstanding efficiency and comfort of the Sheikh Saad Terminal. The new branch in Discovery Mall is located close to my work and offers easy access to free parking so it was very convenient for me to pass by and book my ticket," said Al Mutairi who was presented with his ticket by Lloyd Carswell, Director of Sales and Distribution at Wataniya Airways.

"Our new sales branch reflects what we have consistently been striving to achieve which is a focus on premium level services for our First Class and Premium Economy guests.
