Budget airline flyadeal launches summer flights to Baku, Tbilisi and more

Jeddah: Saudi low-cost carrier flyadeal, on Monday, announced the return of its popular summer flying programme, featuring seasonal routes to five destinations across Egypt, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The airline will operate flights for 10 weeks from its hubs in Riyadh and Jeddah to Baku (Azerbaijan), Tbilisi (Georgia), Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Sharm el-Sheikh (Egypt), and Trabzon (Turkey).

These destinations are returning to flyadeal's network for the third consecutive summer, offering travellers from Saudi Arabia cooler alternatives to the Kingdom's intense summer heat.

Steven Greenway, Chief Executive Officer of flyadeal, said the airline is committed to providing popular travel options during the peak holiday season. "We are delighted to reintroduce our popular seasonal services for a third consecutive summer flying programme," he said. "We look forward to welcoming back our seasoned travellers and first-time passengers to these exciting destinations for a short break or longer holiday."

This summer schedule is in addition to flyadeal’s recent introduction of year-round services to Alexandria and Assiut in Egypt, as well as Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport.

Established in 2017, flyadeal has rapidly expanded to become Saudi Arabia's and the region's fastest-growing low-cost airline. It currently operates a fleet of 39 Airbus A320 family aircraft, serving over 30 seasonal and year-round destinations across Saudi Arabia, the Middle East, Europe, North Africa, and South Asia. The airline has ambitious growth plans, aiming to more than triple its fleet and the number of destinations it serves by 2030.
