Flyadeal, a budget airline from Saudi Arabia, has officially started its regular flight services to Pakistan, marking an important step in its expansion.
The airline’s first-ever scheduled flight to Pakistan, F3-661, took off from Riyadh and landed at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport at 8:04 AM. Upon arrival, the aircraft was welcomed with a traditional water salute, a ceremony often performed for inaugural flights.
Flyadeal will now operate two flights to Pakistan every week. One flight will depart from Riyadh on Thursdays, while another will take off from Jeddah on Saturdays, making it more convenient for passengers traveling between the two countries.
Speaking about this development, Flyadeal’s CEO, Con Korfiatis, shared that the airline has ambitious plans for further international expansion. He also hinted at the possibility of adding more routes to Pakistan in the future.
Before this, Flyadeal had only flown Hajj charter flights to Pakistan in 2024. However, this marks the first time the airline has introduced regular, scheduled flights to the country, providing passengers with more affordable travel options between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
