Qatar Airways Launches First Flight to Hail, Saudi Arabia
The airline now offers three weekly non-stop flights to Hail, marking a significant expansion in Saudi Arabia.
Qatar Airways has officially begun service with three non-stop flights each week between Hamad International Airport (DOH) in Qatar and Hail International Airport (HAS), marking Hail as its 13th destination in Saudi Arabia.
The Hail Province, located in north-central Saudi Arabia, is well-regarded for its historical significance, cultural richness, and unique desert scenery, making it a sought-after location for travelers yearning for outdoor adventures and nature experiences. The region, which was a vital stop along ancient trade and pilgrimage pathways, boasts UNESCO World Heritage Sites filled with ancient rock art that narrate the story of human existence spanning millennia. Today, Hail is emerging as a key cultural hub within the Kingdom.
This new route emphasizes Qatar Airways’ longstanding strategy to broaden its footprint within Saudi Arabia, illustrating the importance of the Saudi market in its global itinerary. This service aligns with the airline’s commitment to enhance regional connectivity and aims to increase travel from Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia to this central region of Saudi Arabia.
Following the addition of Hail, Qatar Airways operates over 150 weekly flights to 13 destinations throughout Saudi Arabia, including Abha, AlUla, Dammam, Jeddah, Medina, NEOM, Qassim, Riyadh, Tabuk, Taif, The Red Sea, and Yanbu.
