Budget Saudi airline expands into Pakistani market 

Flyadeal, Saudi Arabia’s budget airline, has announced its inaugural flight schedule to Pakistan, with services set to commence on February 2, 2025. This expansion marks the airline’s first scheduled operation in Pakistan and South Asia, underscoring its ambitions for international growth.

Starting next February, Flyadeal will operate twice-weekly flights connecting Karachi, Pakistan’s commercial hub, to Riyadh, the Saudi capital, and Jeddah, the Kingdom’s primary business center. Additional routes to other Pakistani cities are being planned for future rollout, according to CEO Steven Greenway.

“I want to thank the Pakistani authorities and our planning team for their collaborative efforts in introducing this new market to Flyadeal’s year-round destinations,” Greenway stated. “Saudi Arabia and Pakistan share strong cultural and historical ties, and with the increasing demand for travel driven by commercial, pilgrim, and family connections, this expansion is a natural step.”

Greenway also highlighted the airline’s success in operating Hajj charters to Pakistan earlier this year, describing the new Karachi routes as a significant milestone in Flyadeal’s network growth and its entry into South Asia. Tickets for these flights are now available for booking through Flyadeal’s official platforms.

Plans for Global Expansion

Flyadeal’s CEO emphasized that international growth remains a top priority as the airline continues to expand its fleet. Over the next year, Flyadeal aims to introduce new destinations across South Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030—a strategic plan to attract over 150 million domestic and international tourists annually by the end of the decade.

The airline’s growth trajectory also includes new domestic routes from Dammam to Najran, Tabuk, and Yanbu, as well as new flights from Riyadh and Jeddah to Amman, Jordan, all launching on January 1, 2025.
