Saudi Arabia's flyadeal is launching flights from Madinah to 3 new domestic destinations from 1 March 2026, raising the number of direct destinations it serves from Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport to 10 domestic and international destinations, as part of its plan to strengthen its operational presence from its new base in the city.
The expansion includes scheduled flights to Jazan, Qassim and Arar, supporting air connectivity between Madinah and a number of key regions in the Kingdom and giving travelers wider travel options in the coming period, according to a press release published on the flyadeal account on LinkedIn.
flyadeal currently operates domestic flights from Madinah to Abha, Al Hofuf, Dammam, Riyadh and Tabuk, as well as direct international flights to Cairo and Istanbul, while the three new destinations will raise the total number of weekly flights to and from Madinah to 94.
For his part, Steven Greenway, CEO of flyadeal, explained that the airline recently adopted Madinah as its fourth operating base in the Kingdom, as part of a strategy aimed at strengthening air connectivity and expanding options for travelers. He added that operating capacity from Madinah has risen by 40%, with work continuing to expand the network of domestic and international destinations from there.
He noted that Madinah's religious status as a key destination for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims enhances the importance of this expansion, especially with direct flights to Madinah from several countries, along with preparations for the upcoming Hajj season.
flyadeal operates a fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft with 186 Economy seats, with operations from its bases in Jeddah, Riyadh, Madinah and Dammam to more than 30 destinations inside and outside the Kingdom, year-round or seasonally.
Tickets for the new destinations from Madinah are now available for booking via the flyadeal smartphone app, the website www.flyadeal.com, and travel agents.
