About
flyadeal
On 23 September 2017, National Day of the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia, flyadeal began operations with its historic maiden
flight from Jeddah to Riyadh. A pioneer and innovator, flyadeal was the first
regional low-cost airline to be launched only across digital
distribution channels. Being the sister airline of full-service national
carrier Saudia — both under the umbrella ownership of Saudi Arabian Airlines
Corporation (Saudia Group) — flyadeal was created for the price-conscious and
tech-savvy consumer in mind in a country where 80 per cent of the Saudi
population is aged less than 40 years and has at least two mobile phones.
flyadeal aims to stimulate travel, tourism and trade with its
affordable, value for money everyday fares catering to leisure, religious,
family and business travellers. Simplicity is key with an all-Economy Class
cabin across flyadeal’s narrowbody fleet. As the Kingdom undergoes dramatic
transformation through its Vision 2030 economic diversification
drive, aviation and tourism are among the many sectors earmarked
for dynamic growth. flyadeal is the
fastest growing airline in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Middle East, recognised for excellence in on-time performance
that is consistently above the global industry average.
Since its inaugural flight in 2017, flyadealhas carried
over 45 million passengers.And in a significant 2025 milestone, flyadeal flew
more than 10 million passengers for the first time in a calendar year. In May
2024, flyadeal placed its biggest ever aircraft order – 51 narrowbody jets
comprising 12 A320neos and 39 larger A321neos – with a delivery schedule
beginning in 2027. In addition, flyadeal will venture into the long-haul market
with its own dedicated widebody aircraft as the first of 10 Airbus A330neos
ordered by Saudia Group in April 2025 is due to be delivered next year. flyadeal’s robust expansion drive makes the rapidly growing airline one of the country’s most
desirable companies to work for.
