Saudia Airlines to resume UAE and Jordan flights from Saudi Arabia

Saudia Airlines will partially resume flights to Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the UAE, and Amman in Jordan on 11 April 2026, restoring selected regional routes following suspensions linked to the US-Israel-Iran war and resulting airspace restrictions.

The airline will operate daily services linking Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport with Dubai International Airport in Dubai, Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi and Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, as part of a phased network restoration. Passengers have been advised to check flight status ahead of travel. 

The resumption comes as air travel across the Middle East begins to stabilise, with flight volumes rising and more regional airspaces reopening. Following closure as a result of the outbreak of the US-Israel-Iran war, Bahrain reopened its airspace in April, and Gulf carriers have now restored 52% of pre-conflict capacity, according to Flightradar24 data.

During the airspace restrictions, Saudi Arabia has acted as a key regional aviation hub. Airports such as Dammam supported diverted services from neighbouring countries, including Bahrain and Kuwait.

However, recovery remains uneven, with several regional and international carriers yet to fully restore operations. Saudi low-cost carrier flynas has extended flight suspensions until at least 15 April across multiple destinations, including the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Syria and Iraq.
