A dazzling port city on the shores of the Persian Gulf, Dammam is home to a wealth of cultural attractions, museums and architectural masterpieces. Following the discovery of oil, it has now been transformed into a modern metropolis with state-of-the-art infrastructure and a vibrant economy.

The three Saudi flights to Budapest are part of Wizz Air’s ambitious target to fly one million passengers to the country this year. The airline is supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 30 programme, which aims to triple passenger traffic to the country by 2030.

“We are delighted that with the launch of the Dammam flight, our airline now connects Saudi Arabia with Budapest on three routes. Passengers departing from Hungary will now have a more accessible, affordable travel alternative to explore the wonderful cities the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has to offer. The Wizz Air team is excited to welcome passengers on its flights to the city of Dammam!”

said Zsuzsa Trubek, Communications Manager at Wizz Air.

“As the capital of Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, Dammam encompasses both the tranquil atmosphere of the Arabian Gulf and its unique, bustling infrastructure. Wizz Air’s flights to this modern metropolis are another fruit of our close cooperation with Saudi Arabia. We have no reason to doubt the success of these routes, as the country is becoming increasingly popular from a tourism perspective,” said Balázs Bogáts, Director of Flight Development at Budapest Airport.
