Saudi Arabia’s low-cost carrier and budget airline, Flynas has announced that it will be commencing flights to the Maldives, starting from June 20th 2023. The decision came in line with the airline’s commitment to expand its global network with 10 new destinations added in Europe and Asia for the summer 2023 season.
The carrier launched four new destinations from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, including the Maldives, Yerevan in Armenia, Antalya in Turkey and Tivat in Montenegro. The Maldivian route will feature between Riyadh and Velana International Airport with three frequencies operated throughout the week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
With the operation of direct flights between Saudi Arabia and the Maldives by Flynas, it will help boost connectivity between the two destinations, allowing travellers to take advantage of the increased connection. With the Saudi Arabian market gradually becoming a prominent and promising one for the Maldives, the commencement of direct operations will aid in increasing arrival numbers from the country as well.
Flynas will also be launching new routes to six destinations in Asia. This includes four from Dammam to Salalah in Oman, Istanbul and Trabzon in Turkey and Tirana in Albania. Two additional routes will be launched from Jeddah to Salalah and Bodrum in Turkey as well.
Moreover, increasing its presence in the European region, Flynas will be resuming operations in its summer destinations such as Prague in the Czech Republic, Vienna and Salzburg in Austria, Baku in Azerbaijan, Tbilisi and Batumi in Georgia, and Saravejo in Bosnia. Likewise, flights will also be operated to Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt for the summer season.
