KLM Royal Dutch Airlines published its winter schedule on September 22, 2026, indicating it intends to resume flights to Dubai, Riyadh and Dammam from the start of the winter schedule, which begins on October 25, 2026. The airline ceased flying to the three destinations on February 28, 2026.

"The exact timetable will depend on the situation in the Middle East at that time," KLM said. Between October 2026 and March 2027, KLM plans to fly to 164 destinations worldwide in 64 countries. President and CEO Marjan Rintel said the airline is offering a wider choice of flights this winter, focusing on personal service and investing in comfort and fleet renewal.
