Saudia to launch direct Dammam to London Heathrow flights from November 2025
Operated three times a week in both directions, the new route aims to boost inbound tourism and support Saudi Vision 2030's goal of positioning the Kingdom as a global travel destination.
The new air route was revealed by the Saudi Air Connectivity Program, in collaboration with the Saudi Tourism Authority, Dammam Airports Company, and the Sharqia Development Authority (SDA).
Saudia announces Dammam to London flights
The initiative is part of a broader strategy to:
Expand Saudi Arabia's international flight network
Promote Dammam as a key economic and tourism hub
Drive inbound tourism from European markets
Support the growth of the Kingdom's aviation and tourism sectors
The flights will be supported by targeted marketing campaigns in partnership with the Saudi Tourism Authority, showcasing destinations in the Kingdom and increasing visibility of the Dammam–London route in global travel promotions.
The move also aligns with Saudi Vision 2030's commitment to enhance air connectivity, diversify the economy, and attract millions of international visitors by making the Kingdom more accessible and attractive as a year-round tourist destination.
With its strategic location on the Arabian Gulf and growing hospitality infrastructure, Dammam is emerging as a key entry point for both leisure and business travellers seeking to explore the Eastern Province and beyond.

Oil prices defy Opec+ hike as geopolitical risks, supply tightness lend support
Oil prices rose on Monday despite Opec+ confirming it will raise output in September, as a combination of tight inventories, renewed geopolitical tensions and expectations of US interest rate cuts offset concerns about increased supply. The day's rally came after early-session weakness pushed crude to its lowest in a week. By mid-morning, Brent crude was trading at $69.48 per barrel, up 0.30 per cent from Friday's close of $69.27. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) gained 1.86 per cent to $66.77 per barrel from $65.55. Later in the day, Brent crude futures fell $1.17, or 1.7%, to $68.50 a barrel by 1127 GMT. US West Texas Intermediate crude declined $1.26, or 1.9%, to $66.07. Both contracts lost about $2 on Friday. The alliance of major oil producers, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, the UAE, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman, confirmed on Sunday that they will raise collective output by 547,000 barrels per day (bpd) in September compared to August levels. This adjustment is part of a phased unwinding of the 2.2 million bpd in voluntary cuts introduced on April 1, in four equal monthly increments. The group stressed the plan remains flexible, with the possibility of pausing or reversing the increases should market conditions warrant it. Opec's communiqué cited healthy market fundamentals, reflected in low inventories, and a broadly steady global economic outlook. That backdrop was challenged, however, by fresh US labour market data that fell well short of expectations, reviving speculation that the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates as early as September. The US economy added just 73,000 jobs in July, according to the Labour Department, far below forecasts. Lower rates tend to weaken the dollar, making oil cheaper for non-dollar buyers and potentially boosting demand. US President Donald Trump has publicly urged the Fed to cut rates, heightening market bets on a policy shift. At the same time, Trump's increasingly combative exchanges with former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev have reintroduced concerns about global energy security. Trump disclosed on Sunday that two US nuclear submarines had been deployed 'where they need to be' following Medvedev's warning that US pressure over the Ukraine conflict risked escalating into a broader confrontation. Trump has also threatened sweeping secondary sanctions and tariffs on Russian oil buyers unless Moscow ends the war in Ukraine within days. Analysts say such measures could disrupt up to 2.75 million bpd of seaborne Russian crude, forcing major importers such as India and China to source alternative—and likely more expensive—supplies. Vijay Valecha, chief investment officer at Century Financial, said the market's reaction reflected a tug of war between the bearish implications of more Opec+ supply and the bullish potential of sanctions-driven disruptions. 'While the 547,000 bpd increase is designed to regain market share, the escalating geopolitical risks surrounding Russian oil could significantly tighten global supply,' he said. 'If sanctions remove substantial Russian volumes from the market and global demand holds, the supply–demand balance could shift decisively in favour of higher prices.' Technical indicators suggest the rebound could have further to run. WTI has tested and bounced off its 100-day exponential moving average near $65.99 and may look to challenge resistance at the 200-day simple moving average of $67.48. Brent has similarly found support near its 200-day moving average at $68.95, with the next upside target around $71.26. Frank Walbaum, market analyst at Naga, said traders remain alert to the dual forces at play. 'Potential disruptions to Russian crude shipments, especially to Asia, could underpin prices as Trump's secondary tariff deadline approaches,' he noted. 'While extra Opec+ supply may weigh on prices, the group's readiness to adjust output in response to market signals adds a layer of uncertainty.' Market sentiment will also be shaped by the pace of Opec+'s supply unwinding beyond September. Should prices come under sustained pressure, the group may slow or reverse the rollback of cuts. Conversely, if geopolitical tensions drive prices higher, producers could stick with planned increases to safeguard market share. The immediate outlook for oil hinges on whether geopolitical risks translate into real supply losses, and whether demand remains resilient in the face of mixed economic data. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has projected that oil demand growth will slow in 2025 to about 1 million bpd from 2.2 million bpd in 2024 as post-pandemic rebounds fade and energy transition policies gather pace. But it warns that any significant disruption to Russian exports could tighten balances sharply. On the supply side, global inventories remain below five-year averages, a factor that continues to provide underlying support. The US Energy Information Administration recently reported that US commercial crude stocks fell by 3.5 million barrels in the last week of July, while product inventories also declined.

US tariffs to have 'close to zero' effect on Saudi Arabia, IMF says
The impact of tariffs imposed by the US on Saudi Arabia is expected to be 'close to zero', underpinning the kingdom's resilience against global economic shocks, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said. The kingdom, the Arab world's largest economy, was hit with a 10 per cent tariff in April – the lower tier of the levies set by US President Donald Trump. But with more than three quarters of Saudi exports to the US exempt from the levies, the direct impact will be 'quite limited', Amine Mati, the IMF's mission chief for the Middle East and Central Asia, told the media on Monday. 'If we were to look at trade with respect to the US, a lot of the trade is in oil products and non-oil exports are actually a very small portion,' he said. Saudi Arabia's non-oil exports to the US that could be subject to the tariffs are between 3 per cent and 4 per cent of total exports, which would mean 'the impact is almost none or close to zero', he added. 'There are some trade diversion gains … textiles and others could benefit, but [others such as] the chemical industries, because of the extra tariffs, would be losing.' Saudi Arabia's economy has shown 'strong resilience', defying global economic shocks amid the growth of its non-oil economy, tamed inflation and record-low unemployment, the IMF said in its annual assessment of the kingdom on Monday. The kingdom is expected to keep its non-oil growth above 3.5 per cent over the medium term, which mirrors the positive impacts led by its Vision 2030 economic programme, the Washington-based lender said. The IMF last week projected Saudi Arabia's economy to expand at a 3.6 per cent pace in 2025 and 3.9 per cent in 2026, supported by the continued phase-out of Opec production cuts. In 2024, non-oil real gross domestic product grew by 4.5 per cent, driven by retail, hospitality and construction, according to the agency. The country, the world's top-oil exporting nation, has enjoyed robust domestic demand spurred by government-led projects and the hosting of major international events, the IMF said. Consumer prices are expected to remain contained, it added. Saudi Arabia's banking sector remained resilient, with lenders' balance sheets staying robust underpinned by high capitalisation, profitability and non-performing loans at their lowest levels in nearly a decade, the IMF said. Services, industry and manufacturing also remain healthy. Unemployment among Saudi nationals also hit a record low, as the jobless rate among youth and women halved over four years, the lender added. The kingdom's current account deficit is projected to persist over the medium term at around 3 per cent, as 'investment-linked imports will continue as well as remittance outflows and despite some continued improvement in non-oil exports', Mr Mati said. Risks remain in the near term, however, including those from weaker oil demand due to global trade tensions, lower government spending and regional security risks that could dampen investor sentiment, he added. 'Of course, on the upside, if you have higher oil production or additional investment linked to Vision 2030 or accelerated implementation of reforms, that could also boost growth further,' Mr Mati said. Saudi Arabia is focusing on diversifying its economy away from oil with an emphasis on the development of sectors such as technology, property, tourism and infrastructure as part of Vision 2030. The kingdom is supporting the development of several industries spanning different sectors to generate employment and help its non-oil economy to grow. Technology will also play a vital role in Saudi Arabia's future economy, with the kingdom 'well-poised and well-placed' to take advantage of innovations such as artificial intelligence in terms of digitalisation among its ranks, Mr Mati said in response to a question from The National. While the IMF does not have a direct measure for technology, it acknowledged that 'this is an area of current work [for the kingdom], particularly because you need to look at it with respect to non-oil productivity more than total productivity', he said. Directors of the IMF's executive board said Saudi Arabia's strong economic performance merits a 'favourable' outlook, 'helped by appropriate macroeconomic policies, strong buffers and impressive reform momentum'. The directors agreed that a gradual fiscal consolidation is needed to achieve intergenerational equity, which could be achieved 'through broader tax policy reforms to increase non-oil revenue, wage bill containment, energy subsidy reform alongside better targeting social safety nets and streamlining of non-essential expenditures'.
