Flynas, a leading low-cost airline of Saudi Arabia, has launched flights to Bahrain, its third destination within the GCC.

The service will consist of three flights per week from Jeddah to Bahrain and three flights per week from Riyadh to Bahrain.

Ticket sales will open today (October 5) for flights commencing December 1, 2015, with introductory fares.

Recent figures have shown that six million travellers from Saudi Arabia travelled to Bahrain in 2014, an increase of 19.3 per cent compared to the previous year, making them by far the largest contingent of visitors from a total of 6.6 million GCC travellers to Bahrain.

In order to best serve the Bahrain market, flynas has signed a Passenger Sales Agent (PSA) agreement with Sanad Travel and Tourism, a leading travel agent in Bahrain. Under this agreement, Sanad Travel will be responsible for flynas’ sales development, reservations and ticketing in addition to guest support and administrative facilities.

Commenting on the launch of the new line, Bander Al Mohanna, NAS Holding Group CEO, said: “We are very proud to be launching our third destinations within the GCC, and we are confident that the appointment of Sanad Travel and Tourism as our sales agent in Bahrain will help us welcome more of our guests in the region to take advantage of the award-winning hospitality and travel services that we offer. flynas have been named as the “Middle East’s Leading Low-Cost Airline” at the prestigious World Travel Awards™ 2015, and we are committed to providing economic prices, suitable options and effective and efficient travel services.”
 
Yousif BinSanad, director of Sanad Travel and Tourism said: “We at Sanad Travel are honoured to represent flynas, the Middle East’s leading low-cost airline. The signing of this agreement is another strategic milestone for Sanad Travel which demonstrates our commitment to the country’s aviation sector. We are glad to offer Bahrain’s residents affordable and cost-effective fares while simultaneously guaranteeing them premium quality services and greater travel choices.” – TradeArabia News Service
