As excitement builds for the forthcoming projects in NEOM, Qatar Airways is set to double flights between Doha and NEOM this winter. Although a date for the increased flights hasn’t been given, it’s likely to be in the coming months that Qatar Airways will increase its weekly flights to NEOM from two to four.

Once it does, the existing flights on Thursdays and Saturdays will be joined by additional routes on Tuesdays and Sundays. The timings of the flights will also change once the frequency of flights between Doha and NEOM increases.

While much of the travel to NEOM has been business travellers until now, that’s set to change this winter as the first of NEOM’s mega developments, Sindalah, prepares to welcome its first guests. The island has been designed as a luxurious escape on the Red Sea coast in northwest Saudi Arabia, complete with four hotels, a beach club, golf course and Michelin-pedigree restaurants.
