DAMMAM- <\/strong>Saudi Arabia\u2019s national airline, Saudia (SV)<\/a>, is set to introduce a new nonstop connection between Dammam and London Heathrow beginning November 2025. The move fills a longstanding service gap between the two cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new service also brings the number of Saudi destinations served non-stop from London to five<\/strong>. Riyadh, Jeddah, Medina, Neom Bay, and now Dammam will see non-stop flights. This development comes in response to growing demand for direct connectivity between the UK and Saudi Arabia\u2019s Eastern Province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dammam is a key center for oil, gas, and industrial activity. This new service is particularly significant because Dammam was London\u2019s largest unserved Middle Eastern market in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudia London to Dammam Flight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On November 5, 2025, Saudia will begin direct flights between Dammam and London Heathrow. The route marks the fifth Saudi city directly linked to London, following Jeddah, Riyadh, Medina, and Neom Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dammam was London\u2019s largest unserved Middle Eastern city<\/strong> in 2024. Dammam had an estimated 73,000 round-trip passengers<\/strong>, based on data cited by Simple Flying<\/a>. Of these, 85% routed through Heathrow<\/strong>, primarily relying on one-stop connections via Gulf carriers and European airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of them traveled via indirect routes. With an average one-way fare of over $1,200 from Heathrow, the Dammam-London corridor has long shown high yield potential, especially since Dammam is a key city in Saudi Arabia, just like Jeddah and Riyadh<\/a>. The new direct link will also support strong cargo demand between the two cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The schedule for the route is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
