Saudi Arabia’s rapidly growing low-cost airline, Flyadeal, has unveiled its ambitious international expansion plans, marking its debut in South Asia with scheduled services from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia starting February 2, 2025. This milestone builds on the strong cultural, historical, and economic ties between the two nations. Flyadeal will initially operate flights connecting Karachi to Riyadh and Jeddah, with future plans to extend its network to other Pakistani cities.
Flyadeal’s International Expansion Drive
After years of strengthening its domestic operations across Saudi Arabia, Flyadeal is now setting its sights on global markets. The airline’s CEO, Steven Greenway, emphasized the significance of Pakistan as a key market in Flyadeal’s growth strategy, stating:
“The demand for air travel between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan is driven by strong commercial, pilgrim, and family connections. Launching this air corridor was a natural progression in our journey.”
The airline previously conducted successful Hajj charters to Pakistan, further solidifying its operational foothold in the region. Flyadeal’s strategic focus for 2025 includes destinations across South Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to attract over 150 million tourists annually.
Bookme.pk Integration for Seamless Travel
In a landmark partnership, Pakistan’s leading digital travel platform, Bookme, has integrated Flyadeal into its system. This collaboration enables Pakistani travelers to book flights to and within Saudi Arabia in Pakistani Rupees, bypassing foreign transaction fees.
Faizan Aslam, CEO of Bookme, remarked:
“Integrating Flyadeal aligns with our mission to simplify travel for Pakistanis while supporting Saudi Vision 2030. We’re excited to partner with Flyadeal as it begins its journey in Pakistan.”
Passengers can book tickets via Bookme.pk, its app, or affiliated platforms, ensuring cost-effective and streamlined booking options. Flyadeal’s offerings cater to both Pakistani travelers and expatriates in Saudi Arabia, providing unmatched convenience and affordability.
Fleet Expansion and New Destinations
Flyadeal currently serves nearly 30 destinations across Saudi Arabia, Europe, MENA, and now South Asia. The airline’s growing fleet will support additional routes in 2025, with plans for new domestic flights within Saudi Arabia and international services to Jordan, further bolstering its extensive network.
The airline’s domestic network includes cities such as Abha, Neom, Tabuk, and Taif, with new services to Najran and Yanbu launching in early 2025.
