Saudi budget carrier flyadeal to launch flights between Riyadh and
Lahore
Saudi Arabia’s budget carrier flyadeal is expanding its footprint in Pakistan with the launch of twice-weekly flights
between Riyadh and Lahore, starting October 27. This marks the airline’s fifth
Pakistani destination in just three months, reflecting its rapid growth in
South Asia.
A subsidiary of the Kingdom’s national airline Saudia, flyadeal entered the Pakistani market in August, beginning operations in Karachi, followed by routes to Islamabad, Peshawar, and Sialkot. With the addition of Lahore, the carrier will now operate 18 flights per week to Pakistan.

“It’s been a fantastic few months for flyadeal in Pakistan, with multiple new routes launched in quick succession,” said Steven Greenway, CEO of flyadeal.
He explained that the Lahore launch was fast-tracked
due to strong demand and available aircraft capacity, adding that the route is
expected to serve Pakistan’s 2.7 million expatriates living in Saudi Arabia.
The flights will be operated using Airbus A320 aircraft, configured with 186 all-economy seats, offering affordable travel options while maintaining high service frequency.
