Flyadeal officially began its flight operations to Pakistan in February 2025, with its inaugural flight arriving at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport.
According to a statement from the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA), the first flight of Flyadeal (F3-661) landed at the airport and was greeted with a water salute.
The PAA spokesperson also announced that the Saudi airline will operate two weekly flights to Karachi, departing from both Riyadh and Jeddah, the Saudi capital. The first flight to Karachi departed from Riyadh.
Aviation Security spokesperson Shahid Qadir said the arrival of the new Saudi airline in Pakistan would provide passengers with an additional direct travel option.
He also highlighted that the airline’s entry into the Pakistani market would create new employment opportunities.
In addition, other Saudi airlines, such as Saudi Arabian Airlines and Flynas, are already operational and offer flights every week.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has already granted permission to Flyadeal to conduct air operations to and from Pakistan.
