About flyadeal

On 23 September 2017, national day of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, flyadeal made its historic maiden flight from Jeddah to Riyadh marking a regional first for a low-cost airline to be launched only across digital and social media channels. Being the sister airline of full-service national carrier Saudia — both under the umbrella ownership of Saudi Arabian Airlines Corporation — flyadeal was created for the price conscious and tech savvy consumer in mind in a market where 80 per cent of the Saudi population is less than 40 and has at least two mobile phones.

With the Kingdom undergoing dramatic transformation under the government’s Vision 2030 economic diversification drive, the aviation sector has been earmarked for huge growth. flyadeal aims to stimulate travel, tourism and trade with its affordable, value for money every day fares.

flyadeal operates a young fleet of 28 Airbus A320 aircraft flying from bases in RiyadhJeddah and Dammam to towns and cities across Saudi Arabia and a growing international footprint in EuropeMiddle East and Africa. The airline has flown almost 20 million passengers since its inaugural flight. In 2019, flyadeal placed orders for 30 Airbus A320neo aircraft. By 2030, the airline plans to operate hundreds of routes with a fleet of over 100 aircraft. flyadeal’s aggressive expansion drive makes the rapidly-growing airline one of the country’s most desirable companies to work for.
