Saudi Budget Airline Flyadeal Expands into Pakistan

Flyadeal, Saudi Arabia's budget airline, has announced plans to commence operations in Pakistan, with the airline set to launch flights connecting Karachi to Riyadh and Jeddah starting from February 2nd. The development marks a significant milestone in aviation relations between the two nations, offering passengers direct travel options between the countries.

The airline has been granted approval by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for air operations in Pakistan, paving the way for Flyadeal to tap into the growing demand for air travel between the two countries. With this expansion, Flyadeal aims to cater to the increasing number of travelers seeking affordable and convenient air travel options. The introduction of direct flights between Karachi, Riyadh, and Jeddah will not only boost bilateral tourism but also foster business ties and strengthen cultural exchanges between the two nations.

This development is part of Flyadeal's broader expansion plans, which have seen the airline launch new routes in recent months. In January 2025, Flyadeal launched direct flights from King Fahd International Airport in Dammam to Najran and Tabuk airports. The airline's commitment to expanding its network and offering more travel options to its passengers is a testament to its dedication to meeting the evolving needs of the aviation industry.

Flyadeal's entry into the Pakistani market is poised to create new opportunities for economic growth and cultural exchange between the two nations. As the airline commences operations, passengers can look forward to enjoying convenient and affordable air travel options, further strengthening the ties between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
