SaudiGulf Airlines (Dammam) is planning to add its first international routes.

The Saudi carrier is planning to add twice-daily flights on the Riyadh – Dubai route in March.

The airline is also planning to add new routes from Dammam to four cities in Pakistan, namely Islamabad, Lahore, Peshawar and Sailikot.

Will SaudiGulf finalize its agreement for up to 16 Boeing 777s? Previously the privately-owned airline had publicly stated it planned to finalize an order with Boeing by the third quarter of 2017.
