Saudi Arabia’s low-cost airline, Flyadeal, has launched its flight operations to Pakistan.

The airline’s inaugural flight, F3-661, arrived at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport from Riyadh at 8:04am, where it was greeted with a ceremonial water salute.

Flyadeal would operate two weekly flights to Karachi—one from Riyadh every Thursday and another from Jeddah every Saturday.

While speaking about the expansion, Flyadeal CEO Con Korfiatis emphasized the airline’s commitment to international growth, with potential plans to introduce more routes to Pakistan in the future.

In the past, Flyadeal operated Hajj charter flights to Pakistan in 2024, but this marks the airline’s first scheduled service to the country.
