KLM will bring Dubai, Riyadh and Dammam back into its winter 2026/27 network from 25 October, as the Amsterdam-based carrier expands to 164 destinations worldwide for the season. The routes are scheduled to return alongside the introduction of KLM’s first Airbus A350, while operations on the Gulf services will depend on conditions in the Middle East.
The airline’s winter programme covers 164 destinations in 64 countries, including 93 in Europe and 71 intercontinental routes. KLM is also phasing out its Airbus A330-200 fleet, with flights to Riyadh, Dammam and Miami due to be operated mainly by Boeing aircraft this winter. The network changes sit within a broader capacity increase that includes more Premium Comfort seats on selected long-haul services.
KLM’s first A350 will enter passenger service during the winter season, with Toronto set to be its initial commercial destination. The carrier is also continuing to renew its fleet as it adjusts capacity to demand across its intercontinental network.
