Saudia, in cooperation with the Air Connectivity Program and Dammam Airports Company, has added Dammam as a new departure point for its international destination London Heathrow Airport in the capital of the United Kingdom, making it the third city in the Kingdom to operate direct flights to Heathrow, after Jeddah and Riyadh.
This comes in line with operational requirements and as part of the optimal use of its aircraft fleet, contributing to achieving the targets of the National Aviation Strategy to expand the air transport network. It also strengthens cooperation with the Saudi Tourism Authority to continue its contribution aimed at connecting the world to the Kingdom, according to a post on Saudia's LinkedIn account.
Saudia's flights between Dammam and London, operated in partnership with the Air Connectivity Program, will number 3 flights a week in each direction and will start in November 2025. Customers can make bookings through its digital platforms, namely the website and smartphone apps, as Saudia provides integrated services enhanced by artificial intelligence technologies to help travelers plan their trips optimally and accompany them through every detail of their journey.
It is worth noting that Saudia currently operates a route to London Heathrow Airport from both Jeddah and Riyadh, with 38 flights a week and a total of 11,900 seats.
