In order to strengthen its global network, Jet Airways, India’s premier international airline, will be launching daily flights from Kochi and Chennai to Dammam from next month. While the Chennai flight to Dammam in Saudi Arabia will be operated via Abu Dhabi, the Kochi-Dammam service will be a direct one.
