Qatar Airways is expanding its operations in Saudi Arabia with the resumption of flights to Abha and an increased frequency to Neom. Starting Jan. 2, 2025, the airline will offer two weekly flights to Abha International Airport. Additionally, Qatar Airways will boost its Neom flights from two to four per week during the winter season.

The carrier says this expansion will provide passengers with more travel options and seamless connections to over 170 global destinations through Doha’s Hamad International Airport. It also complements the airline’s existing services to AlUla, Dammam, Jeddah, Medina, Neom, Qassim, Riyadh, Tabuk, Taif, and Yanbu.

Abha: A New Addition

Abha is now Qatar Airways’ 11th destination in Saudi Arabia. Qatar Airways Group CEO Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer highlighted the importance of these additions.

“We are proud to resume flights to Abha and increase frequencies to NEOM, further strengthening our presence in Saudi Arabia,” said Al-Meer. “This resumption reflects our commitment to connecting passengers to the Kingdom’s most sought-after destinations.”
