Fly Jinnah, Pakistan’s low-cost carrier, has announced the expansion of its footprint in Saudi Arabia with the launch of a new direct route connecting Lahore and Jeddah.

Starting on November 16, the airline will operate four weekly non-stop flights between the two cities, which are scheduled to increase to daily flights by December 6, further enhancing connectivity between Pakistan and the Kingdom.
Commenting on the expansion, Fly Jinnah spokesperson stated: “We are excited to further enhance our presence in Saudi Arabia with our new route to Jeddah, offering greater accessibility for our customers. This expansion underlines Fly Jinnah’s commitment to continuously offering travellers more affordable and value-driven travel options while contributing to stronger ties between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.”
The new route to Jeddah joins Fly Jinnah’s recently introduced direct flights from Lahore to Riyadh and Dammam, demonstrating the airline’s strategic growth in the Saudi market. By offering more direct travel options, Fly Jinnah aims to meet the increasing demand for affordable, reliable connections between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia for both business and leisure travellers.
With a modern fleet of five Airbus A320 aircraft, Fly Jinnah provides domestic and international flights from major cities across Pakistan, including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, and Quetta. The airline’s international network from Lahore now includes routes to Sharjah, Riyadh, Dammam, and Jeddah, while also serving Bahrain, Muscat, and Sharjah from Islamabad.
