flynas, Saudi Arabia’s leading low-cost airline, is set to significantly expand its operations in the UAE, introducing eight new direct routes between Saudi Arabia and the Emirates. This ambitious expansion, scheduled to commence in September, aligns with the airline’s broader goal of increasing connectivity in the region.
The new routes will make flynas the only Saudi airline to serve all four major UAE airports. These include Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) in Dubai, Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed International Airport, and Sharjah International Airport. The expansion is expected to elevate the number of daily flights between Saudi Arabia and the UAE to over 20, enhancing accessibility for both business and leisure travelers.
Key routes launching include services from Riyadh to DWC and from Jeddah to both Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. These additions reflect flynas’ strategic vision to broaden its reach, catering to growing demand in the UAE-Saudi corridor, especially under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 plan, which seeks to position the kingdom as a global transport hub.
The airline’s network is poised to expand further, targeting 165 destinations worldwide, underscoring its commitment to strengthening regional ties and offering more travel options to its passengers. As the airline continues to grow, it remains a pivotal player in fostering greater connectivity between Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
