Flyadeal launches new routes to Dammam, Qassim

flyadeal, the Kingdom’s new low-fare airline, has announced the introduction of new routes from Jeddah to Dammam and Qassim, starting on Nov.1 and 2, respectively.

Flights to Qassim will operate once a day in the afternoon, while those to Dammam will initially fly once a day in the evening, increasing to twice daily later in November.

flyadeal said its new routes are in line with its strategy of delivering low fares and more efficient air services across the Kingdom. Dammam and Qassim were the most requested new destinations on flyadeal’s social media platforms, proving demand is high in these cities for affordable air travel.

As the Kingdom’s industrial hub, Dammam is an exciting addition to the flyadeal network. With great road connections across the major Eastern Province cities and a modern terminal, flyadeal expects to expand its service to and from the airport in the future.

Qassim is not only the agricultural heartland of the Kingdom but has an expanding heritage and event calendar. flyadeal said its new daily schedule between Jeddah will offer consumers in both regions the opportunity to connect and explore even more.

Saleh bin Nasser Al-Jasser, chairman of flyadeal and director general of Saudi Arabian Airlines Corporation, said: “flyadeal is on track to provide a comprehensive network that reaches all customers in Saudi Arabia and the region. This strategy will aim to grow the travel and tourism industry as it supports Saudi Vision 2030 toward its expansion.”

To celebrate the launch, the airline is offering a seven-day launch sale, with one-way fares starting at SR98 ($26).

Con Korfiatis, CEO of flyadeal, said: “We are excited to expand our footprint in the Kingdom, giving new customers the opportunity to fly for less. We’re passionate about offering everyday low fares so please make sure to book early to benefit from our lowest fares — the number of seats available are limited and once they are gone, they are gone.”

The fare includes a 10 kg cabin bag allowance. The fare is on sale on flyadeal.com until Oct. 30, for travel before Nov. 29.
