Qatar Airways restores Riyadh and Dammam as Etihad extends Saudi suspension

Gulf airlines are partly reopening Saudi routes, but key UAE–Saudi links stay shut. That keeps business travel and cargo across the region’s two biggest economies disrupted.

Daily services to King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh resumed on Friday, November 13, 2026, and daily flights to King Fahd International Airport in Dammam are scheduled to resume on Saturday, November 14. Abha and Taif remain off the map.

Across the border, Etihad’s passenger and cargo flights between Abu Dhabi and Riyadh and Dammam remain cancelled through November 19. Emirates, flydubai and Air Arabia have also experienced disruptions affecting selected Saudi destinations.

For businesses that need to move people and goods between the region’s two biggest economies, the disruption continues.
