Destinations that will permanently be made more accessible include Ta’if, Saudi Arabia; Basra, Iraq; Najaf, Iraq; Gassim, Saudi Arabia; Ankara, Turkey; Zagreb, Croatia and Athens, Greece.

The airline will also increase the weekly frequency of flights to three destinations during the peak summer period: Alexandria, Egypt; Salalah, Oman and Larnaca, Cyprus. These additional flights will be seasonal only and the routes will revert back to their regular schedules from 15 September, 4 October and 24 October respectively.

The permanent frequency increases will see Ta’if, Zagreb and Ankara begin daily flight services commencing 16 May, 1 July and 3 July respectively.

Meanwhile, the service to two Iraqi destinations will double from four to eight flights per week with Basra beginning on 16 May and Najaf on 2 June, while 10 flights per week will be offered to Gassim as of 17 July.

The most significant increase in frequency is the launch of an additional daily service on 1 June to Athens, bringing the number of weekly flights to the popular holiday destination up from 14 to 21 per week.
