Saudi low-cost carrier flynas has launched direct flights between Jeddah and the Russian capital Moscow as of December 23 this month, in cooperation with the Saudi Tourism Authority and the Air Connectivity Program, in a move that supports the growth of tourism and strengthens air connectivity between the Kingdom and Russia.
Ceremonies marking the launch of the new route were held at both King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah and Vnukovo International Airport, where passengers on the inaugural flight were welcomed and presented with souvenirs to mark the launch of the first direct flights between the two cities.
When the aircraft arrived at Vnukovo International Airport, an official reception was held to mark the operation of the first direct air route linking Jeddah and Moscow, attended by representatives of the Saudi Embassy in Moscow, flynas, the Russian tourism authority and the management of Vnukovo Airport.
flynas will operate three flights a week between Jeddah and Moscow, becoming the first Saudi airline to operate scheduled flights between the two cities, after launching the first regular direct flight between Riyadh and Moscow last August, with four weekly flights between the two capitals.
flynas affirmed its commitment to continue expanding its network of international destinations and routes, providing more reliable and flexible travel options for passengers and helping to boost travel and bilateral relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Russia.
