The returning services will provide 470,000 seats during the winter season, giving customers from nine European cities direct, affordable access to year-round sunshine, spectacular beaches and some of the Middle East’s most exciting cultural and entertainment destinations.

The resumption of services comes as millions of Europeans begin planning their winter travel and look to exchange colder, darker days for sunshine and warmer temperatures. With daytime temperatures regularly reaching around 25°C during the European winter, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah and Amman provide an ideal counter-seasonal escape.

From Dubai’s iconic skyline, beaches, shopping and entertainment to Abu Dhabi’s cultural landmarks, desert landscapes and family attractions, Jeddah’s historic old town and Red Sea coastline and Amman’s vibrant blend of ancient history and modern urban culture the four destinations offer something for every type of traveller.

The returning services will operate according to the following schedule:
