flynas announced the establishment of a new operations base at Abha International Airport in cooperation with the leading airports operator, Cluster2 company, and the Aseer Development Authority, adding to its existing operations bases in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Madinah, and becoming the first Saudi airline to operate flights from five different hubs across the Kingdom.

Beginning March 29, flynas will launch the first phase of this expansion, offering direct flights to 11 domestic and international destinations.

The international network from Abha will include six permanent routes to Dubai, Cairo, Istanbul, and Addis Ababa, as well as seasonal service to Kuwait and Trabzon.

These new routes complement the five domestic cities already served from Abha: Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah, Madinah, and Tabuk. The leading LCC plans to gradually double the number of destinations linked to this new hub.

Bander Almohanna, CEO and Managing Director of flynas, said: “The launch of our new operations base in Abha represents a strategic investment designed to build an integrated national operating network. Beyond operational growth, the hub aims to stimulate economic and tourism development in the Aseer region, supporting the goal of transforming it into a year-round global tourist destination. This initiative directly aligns with the National Civil Aviation Strategy and the overarching objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.” -TradeArabia News Service
