Through the introduction of these additional flights we can now offer our guests  greater convenience, more choice and increased flexibility in their travel to and from  Dammam.”

Dammam is among the largest ports in the  Gulf. With trade booming, it is home to a large population of Indian expatriates. Recognising its economic potential, Jet Airways has been steadily adding new destinations or increasing frequencies to existing destinations in the Gulf region.
