flynas has launched its first direct flights between Jeddah and Rabat in Morocco, becoming the first Saudi airline to link the two cities, in a move that strengthens air connectivity between Saudi Arabia and Morocco and expands its presence in the African market.
The launch ceremony was held at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah on Saturday 4 July, attended by representatives of flynas and Jeddah Airports Company, with passengers departing on the first flight welcomed with gifts to mark the occasion, according to a post on the flynas website.
flynas operates one direct weekly flight between Jeddah and Rabat, alongside its existing direct service between Jeddah and Casablanca, launched in 2023 with 3 weekly flights.
The expansion aims to provide additional travel options and meet growing demand for travel between Saudi Arabia and Morocco, in line with flynas' strategic growth and expansion plan under the slogan "Connecting the World to the Kingdom".
The move is in parallel with the goals of the National Civil Aviation Strategy, which aims to connect the Kingdom with 250 international destinations, handle 330 million passengers and host 150 million tourists a year by 2030, as well as the goals of the Pilgrim Experience Program to facilitate access to the Two Holy Mosques.
flynas operates more than 2,000 weekly flights to more than 80 domestic and international destinations in 38 countries across 156 routes, and has carried 110 million passengers since its launch in 2007. The airline aims to reach 165 destinations as part of its growth and expansion plan, in line with the targets of Saudi Vision 2030.
