flyadeal, a low-cost carrier of Saudia Group, has launched direct flights between Madinah and Karachi, strengthening air connectivity between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

The airline will operate two weekly flights on the new route using Airbus A320neo aircraft configured with 186 Economy Class seats.

Madinah becomes the third Saudi city, after Jeddah and Riyadh, to be connected to Karachi through flyadeal’s expanding international network.

The new service brings the airline’s total number of routes to Pakistan to seven.

Abdulaziz Bahri, Chief Operating Officer, flyadeal, said: “Launching our new Madinah–Karachi route reflects our commitment to the Pakistan market, which continues to see strong growth and demand within our international network. Starting with two routes just last year, we are delighted to inaugurate our seventh route to Pakistan. This pace underscores the depth of the economic, cultural and people-to-people ties between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, as well as demand for flyadeal’s modern, efficient, friendly and affordable services.” -TradeArabia News Service
