flynas is offering competitive prices for these new routes. For example, a one-way ticket from Abu Dhabi or Sharjah to Madinah starts at just Dhs249. If you’re travelling from Dubai World Central to Riyadh, fares begin at Dhs239. Meanwhile, a flight to Jeddah from the UAE starts at Dhs365.
This expansion aims to provide more travel options and convenience for passengers between these major cities.
Over 20 daily flights between Saudi and UAE
As of September 2024, flynas will become the only KSA airline serving the major 4 airports in the UAE. The routes operated between the two countries will be increased from 4 routes currently to 9 routes, allowing for an exceptional expansion to more than 20 daily flights.
