Nesma Airlines to launch Saudi domestic flights

SAUDI ARABIA, September 18, 2016

Nesma Airlines, an Egyptian airline company with a Saudi Arabian joint venture, will become the latest carrier to launch domestic flights in the kingdom this November, said a report.

The airline, which currently flies between Saudi and Egypt with three Airbus A320s and one A319, plans to connect the city of Hail with 12 points around the kingdom. It plans to operate with two 68-seater ATR 72-600 turboprops and will initially fly to Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam, said a report in Gulf Business.

“We will build our business model at Hail in two directions – first one, direct flights to Hail; and the other one, feeder flights,” Lamloum told Al Arabiya. “We are trying to use Hail as a hub by feeding some passengers to other destinations.”
