Saudi low-cost carrier flynas has launched direct flights linking the city of Dammam with the city of Turaif as of today, December 4, in a move that strengthens its network of domestic destinations and supports its expansion plan within the Kingdom.
King Fahd International Airport in Dammam hosted a celebration marking the departure of the inaugural flight, attended by representatives of flynas and Dammam Airports Company, where passengers were welcomed with souvenirs to mark the launch of the new route. That is according to a post on the flynas LinkedIn account.
flynas said two weekly flights will operate on Thursdays and Sundays between Dammam, one of flynas's four operating bases, and Turaif Domestic Airport in the Northern Borders region.
The launch of this route comes within the National Civil Aviation Strategy, which aims to connect the Kingdom to 250 international destinations, raise capacity to 330 million passengers annually and attract 150 million tourists by 2030, in addition to supporting the targets of the Pilgrim Experience Program to facilitate access to the Two Holy Mosques.
