A direct Doha to Dammam flight is only one hour, but could take eight during the blockade due to the need to first fly to Kuwait. Jeddah, on the Red Sea coast and Saudia’s second largest city, should receive four weekly flights from Doha, while the hop to Dammam will get direct flights starting on 16 January. Qatar Airways plans to resume a daily service on the route, as well as restarting other destinations in the area. The first plane making the one hour journey was flight QR1164, an airbus A350-1000 that left the Qatar capital at 14 01 local time. The arrival continues a warming of relationships in the region, with airspace in the peninsula also now open. Qatar Airways flew back into Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh on 11 January, its first arrival in the city since a travel blockade was imposed on Qatar by many of its Gulf neighbours in 2017.
