Qatar Airways has resumed flights to Saudi Arabia on Monday, 11 January 2021. This follows an agreement to end more than three years of dispute between the two countries.

According to the airline, flights have returned to Saudi Arabia with services to Riyadh on Monday, January 11, 2021, while flights to Jeddah will resume on Thursday, January 14, and Dammam on Saturday, January 16.

Saudi Airline Saudia has also resumed flights to Qatar on Monday, 11 January 2021 for the first time since 2017.

The moves came after Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Egypt signed a reconciliation agreement with Qatar during the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit in the Saudi city of al-Ula.

Saudi Arabia has earlier disclosed that it agreed to reopen airspace and land and sea border to Qatar, as part of the agreement to lift a Saudi-led blockade imposed on Qatar since 2017.
