Riyadh (Agencies) July 10, 2025 — Saudi Arabia’s low-cost carrier Flyadeal has officially announced the launch of new direct flights to Pakistan, significantly expanding its footprint in South Asia. Starting in late August 2025, the airline will operate scheduled services from Riyadh and Dammam to four major Pakistani cities, offering affordable travel options for expatriates, business travelers, and pilgrims.
According to Flyadeal’s latest schedule:
- Riyadh–Islamabad: Two weekly flights beginning August 24
- Riyadh–Peshawar: Two weekly flights beginning August 24
- Riyadh–Sialkot: Three weekly flights beginning August 26
- Dammam–Karachi: Three weekly flights beginning August 25
These routes complement Flyadeal’s earlier expansion into Pakistan, which began with flights to Karachi from Riyadh and Jeddah in February 2025. The airline has since doubled its Karachi flight frequencies and now aims to serve a broader segment of Pakistan’s travel market3.
Flyadeal’s CEO, Steven Greenway, emphasized that the expansion reflects the airline’s commitment to connecting Saudi Arabia with key Pakistani cities. “We are proud to offer more choices to travelers who want reliability and value,” he said, noting the strong demand driven by family ties, religious tourism, and trade.
Tickets for the new routes are now available via Flyadeal’s official website and mobile app. Passengers can expect competitive fares, digital booking convenience, and access to value-added services such as baggage bundles and onboard refreshments.
This strategic move supports Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals to boost tourism and regional connectivity, while offering Pakistani travelers more budget-friendly options across the Kingdom.
