"nas air’s guests will meet the first CEO in the Kingdom who will pilot his own planes!"
Not true...... Saudia had a Director General who was an active B747 Captain.
Dammam is the domain of SAMA, I expect them to start DMM-JED DMM-MED and DMM to 2 smaller destinations as part of the public service obligations. They were licenced a couple of weeks after NAS, so its fair to see NAS start first.
