Saudi Arabia’s aviation authority announced on Friday that direct flights will start from Dammam to Najaf, Iraq, from June 1, strengthening the bond between the two countries.
This move is part of Saudi Arabia’s plan to increase its aviation capacity, aiming to serve more than 330 million passengers annually, with over 250 destinations worldwide.
Najaf will be the third destination in Iraq for Saudi flights, alongside Baghdad and Erbil, supporting easier travel between the two nations and boosting aviation cooperation.
Observers emphasize the significant role of the Saudi-Iraqi Coordination Council in elevating bilateral relations to a strategic level, driven by a shared commitment to common goals and the determination of the leaders of both countries.
This initiative underscores Saudi Arabia’s dedication to facilitating travel for its citizens to Iraq and promoting interaction with all Iraqi communities, fostering closer ties between the two nations.
