Saudi carrier flynas has announced the launch of direct flights between Dammam and Damascus in Syria starting this coming October 3, making it the third route linking the Syrian capital with the Kingdom within the airline's network.
The move comes as part of the company's growth and expansion strategy and in support of national goals in the aviation and tourism sectors, according to a post on the flynas account on LinkedIn.
flynas will operate three weekly flights between King Fahd International Airport in Dammam and Damascus International Airport, extending its plan to strengthen air connectivity between the two countries, after it became the first Saudi airline to resume flights to Damascus last June.
With the launch of this new route, the number of flynas flights to Damascus rises to 17 per week from Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam, including daily direct flights from Riyadh and Jeddah.
It is worth noting that flynas launched its first direct flights between Riyadh and Damascus this past June 5, adding the Syrian capital to its growing network, in line with its growth and expansion plan known by the slogan "Connecting the World to the Kingdom."
This is in line with the goals of the National Civil Aviation Strategy, which aims to enable national carriers to connect the Kingdom with 250 international destinations, handle 330 million passengers and welcome 150 million tourists annually by 2030, in addition to supporting the goals of the Pilgrim Experience Program to facilitate access to the Two Holy Mosques.
