“We are excited to announce this latest destination, which further strengthens our Middle East network,” commented Tengku Dato Azmil Zahruddi, Malaysia Airlines Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. “In many ways, Dammam has evolved as the link between Saudi Arabia and the outside world, exporting the Kingdom’s products and importing its needs and thriving on the interaction between Saudi Arabia and other countries,” he added.
