Nesma Airlines is a Saudi Arabian Airline that operates a variety of domestic and international flights. On international flights, Nesma Airlines operates as a full-service carrier, which means passengers have a choice of either flying business or economy class. On domestic flights, passengers are still treated well, receiving free hot and cold beverages, as well as snacks, in their economy class. Depending on the route and destination, other food and drink options may be available for purchase on board, in addition to a selection of pre-booked meals.

The airline commenced operations in June 2010 and flew on its first commercial route only a month later to the Slovenian capital, Ljubljana. The airline also operates a charter airline, carrying passengers to holidays in Egypt and Europe. In 2011, Nesma started operating scheduled domestic flights in Saudi Arabia to Tabuk and Taif. In 2016, it expanded its network to include flights between Jeddah, its new operational base, and Riyadh. There are now as many as 6 flights a day between the two destinations.

Nesma Airlines operated the first domestic commercial scheduled service since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime from Baghdad to Basra with 100 passengers on 4 June 2005. On 6 November 2005, Nesma Airlines operated a flight from Baghdad to Tehran, Iran, for the first time in twenty-five years. The aircraft, as with the rest of the fleet, was operated on its behalf by Teebah Airlines of Jordan. In February 2017, after several years of planning, Nesma Airlines began flights to Minsk, Belarus. On 17 September 2017, Nesma Airlines landed in Vnukovo Airport in Moscow, Russia for the first time.
