Qatar Airways is set to broaden its presence in Saudi Arabia this winter by reinstating flights to four key destinations: Qassim, Taif, Yanbu, and Tabuk. The airline plans to resume services on October 25 for Qassim, followed by Taif on October 31, Yanbu on January 2, and Tabuk on January 3, 2027. Each city will be serviced with two weekly flights, offering travelers enhanced access to Qatar Airways' extensive global network, which spans over 160 destinations.
This expansion marks a significant increase in the airline's Saudi operations, boosting weekly flights to more than 155, a rise of over 10% compared to the summer schedule. Qatar Airways aims to demonstrate its enduring commitment to the Saudi market and its dedication to enhancing regional connectivity through this strategic move.
Over the past year, the airline facilitated more than 2.3 million passenger journeys between Saudi Arabia and its international network. In addition to these new routes, Qatar Airways has also bolstered frequency on existing major Saudi routes. For instance, its Riyadh service has expanded from 35 to 49 weekly flights since June 2026, providing passengers with greater flexibility and more connection opportunities via Hamad International Airport.
