Flynas opens new operations base in...

The airline will operate to six destinations from the city

Flynas has launched its newest base at Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz International Airport in the Saudi city of Madinah.

The airline has also launched flights to six new destinations and routes, two domestic – Abha and Tabuk – and four international: Dubai, Amman, Istanbul and Ankara.

The new flights will operate alongside four existing routes to Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Cairo, taking the total number of destinations served by Flynas from the airport to 10.

Flynas is now the only carrier with four bases across Saudi Arabia, with the latest opening in line with its expansion and growth plans.

The airline’s CEO and managing director Bander Almohanna said: "Launching our newest operation base and inaugurating new routes comes in response to the high demand for Madinah, notably from pilgrims and visitors to the holy mosque.

"Operating 10 routes from the new base as a start was made possible as a result of more than 100% upscaling of our all-Airbus fleet in less than two years, in line with the growth and expansion plan launched early last year."
