- Riyadh Air still lists daily Riyadh-Manila service starting September 9, 2026.
- Bangkok is scheduled for September 2, then Manchester follows on September 19, 2026.
- The revised timetable shows no route cancellation; Manila remains in the September rollout.
Riyadh Air’s revised schedule continues to list daily service between Riyadh and Manila beginning September 9, 2026, keeping the route in the carrier’s late-summer expansion. The update gives travelers a planned launch date and a daily operating pattern.
The schedule change does not indicate that the route has been canceled. Instead, Manila remains part of the carrier’s updated September operations plan.

That launch follows another new route. Bangkok is listed for September 2, 2026.
Manchester comes later. The United Kingdom route is scheduled for September 19, 2026.
The three additions form part of a broader late-August and September network rollout. Manila is one of several destinations being added as the carrier expands beyond its initial operations.
The airline had already started scheduled commercial service earlier in summer 2026. Its network had reached more than a dozen destinations before these additional routes were listed.
The revised rollout separates the three launches by date
The current schedule places the routes on separate launch dates and assigns each a different planned frequency:
| Route | Planned start | Planned frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Riyadh Air, Riyadh to Bangkok | September 2, 2026 | 4-weekly |
| Riyadh Air, Riyadh to Manila | September 9, 2026 | Daily |
| Riyadh Air, Riyadh to Manchester | September 19, 2026 | 3-weekly |
Manila therefore sits between the Bangkok and Manchester additions in the September timetable. Its daily frequency also exceeds the planned schedules listed for the other two routes.
A separate route roundup likewise includes Manila among the carrier’s September 2026 additions and gives the same September 9 start date. The schedule information points to a retained launch rather than a withdrawal.
The expansion comes as Riyadh Air builds out its international network after beginning commercial operations earlier in the summer. The rollout includes destinations in Asia and Europe, with Bangkok, Manila and Manchester appearing together in the late-2026 schedule updates.
No named Riyadh Air executive, government official or direct statement accompanies the route details. The published information centers on dates, frequencies and the sequence of the network additions.
The next listed milestone is Bangkok on September 2, followed by Manila one week later. Manchester is due to join the schedule on September 19, while Manila remains planned as a daily service.
