Air Arabia Dammam, Saudi Arabia’s new national carrier, has announced the launch of its first international route, introducing five weekly non-stop flights between Dammam and Jordan’s capital, Amman, from November 19, 2026.
The new service will
connect King Fahd International Airport in Dammam with Queen Alia International
Airport in Amman, providing travellers in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province with
direct access to Jordan for business and leisure travel.
Adel Al Ali, Group
Chief Executive Officer of Air Arabia, said: “Launching our first international
service marks an important step in the growth of our Dammam operations. The new
route provides customers a convenient option to travel between Saudi Arabia’s
Eastern Province and Jordan, whether for business or leisure. We look forward
to expanding our domestic network and adding more international destinations as
demand grows.”
Air Arabia Dammam
commenced operations in September 2026 after receiving its Air Operator
Certificate (AOC) from Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation
(GACA).
Operating under Air
Arabia’s low-cost business model, the airline uses Airbus A320 aircraft
configured with 174 seats in a single-class cabin. Onboard services include
SkyTime, a complimentary in-flight streaming platform, SkyCafe dining and
access to Air Rewards, the airline group's loyalty programme.
The launch of the Amman route marks a new phase in the carrier’s expansion, complementing its existing domestic network as it prepares to introduce additional international destinations in response to growing demand. -TradeArabia News Service
