Sama was founded by Investment Enterprises Ltd, chaired by HRH Prince Bandar bin Khalid al Faisal, with the support of Mango Aviation Partners, a UK firm specialising in low fare airline start-up’s.

Initial investment was received from 30 major Saudi private and institutional investors including:

· Olayan Financial Co
· Xenel Industries Ltd
· Saudi Industrial Services Co.
· Sara Development Company Ltd
· Modern Investment Company for Trade and Industries

Mango Aviation Partners was established by a number of senior executives with many years worth of experience in the UK and European low fares airline industry. As such they brought the specific expertise necessary to establish and develop Sama.

Sama flies Boeing 737-300 aircraft which are maintained to the highest international standards by SR Technics. Our aircraft are leased from major worldwide lessors.

Sama is a short-haul carrier serving destinations within the Kingdom and other destinations across the Middle East. We do not plan to offer long haul destinations.
