Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: Flynas, the national airline and the leading low-cost carrier in the Middle East and the world, announced adding seven new routes to its ever-expanding flight network from its new operations base at Madinah Airport starting from December 1, 2023.
After becoming the only carrier with 4 operations bases across the Kingdom, the leading LCC will launch two domestic routes from Madinah to Abha and Tabuk and five international routes to Dubai, Amman, Baghdad, Istanbul, and Ankara to be operated alongside the other four existing routes from Madinah to Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and Cairo, a press statement said.
These additions will bring the total number of routes operated by Flynas from Madinah to 11 so far.

He said, “We are proud to showcase our commitment to Madinah and to expand offerings for our guests, in line with the objectives of the Pilgrims Experience Program (PEP) to facilitate access to the Two Holy Mosques and the National Civil Aviation Strategy to enable national air carriers to contribute to connecting the Kingdom with 250 International destinations and to reach 330 million passengers and to attract 100 million tourists annually by 2030.”
With the Board of Directors’ approval to increase new aircraft orders to 250 aircraft to position flynas as the largest low-cost airline in the Middle East, flynas is committed to expanding its network in accordance with the growth and expansion strategy launched by the leading LCC early last year under the slogan “We Connect the World to the Kingdom.”
