Flyadeal announced that it has carried 20 million passengers between Riyadh and its destinations since operations began in September 2017. Airline managers and King Khalid International Airport officials celebrated with passengers in Terminal 5, distributing gifts and hosting activities.
Chief Executive Officer Steven Greenway recalled the inaugural Jeddah–Riyadh flight as the beginning of a strong partnership with Riyadh Airports, according to the airline’s LinkedIn account.
He said operations grew annually to reach 20 million Riyadh passengers, representing two-thirds of the airline’s total, and pledged continued cooperation to achieve shared goals and serve Saudi aviation.
Riyadh Airports Chief Executive Officer Ayman Abu Abah welcomed the milestone, noting flyadeal’s contribution to operations, service and network development and expectations of further growth under its ambitious plans.
Riyadh, flyadeal’s largest base, currently serves 11 domestic destinations, including Abha, Dammam, Jazan, Jeddah, Madinah, Najran, Tabuk and Taif, and five international destinations: Amman, Cairo, Dubai International, Dubai World Central and Istanbul. Karachi will join from February 2 with weekly flights from Riyadh and Jeddah.
The airline serves nearly 30 year-round domestic destinations and selected seasonal destinations in the Middle East, Europe and North Africa with 36 Airbus A320 aircraft.
