SINCE its launch, flyadeal, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s new low fares airline, has been growing its flights and network rapidly. It achieved a major milestone flying its 100,000th customer on Nov. 30, barely two months after starting operations on Sept. 23, Saudi Arabia’s National Day.

The 100,000th customer took advantage of flyadeal’s attractive low fares and travelled with his family from Riyadh to Jeddah to perform Umrah. In recognition of this special moment, members of the flyadeal team surprised Bader Alnofaie and his family with a voucher for the value of his tickets and an aircraft model as a gesture of gratitude and appreciation.

Con Korfiatis, CEO of flyadeal, said: “flyadeal has been received with a warm welcome by our Customers from the very start of services in September. Since the airline’s launch, we have focused on ensuring a memorable and enjoyable journey every time. We are pleased to commemorate this special occasion – our 100,000th customer in just two months – as we continue to provide a service that meets the growing demand for affordable air travel in Saudi Arabia.”

“Today, with the support of our customers, we continue to add more flights on high-demand routes, and we look forward to announcing new routes in the coming months – in addition to the arrival of more new aircraft to serve these operations.”

Bader Alnofaie, a military employee, shared his enthusiasm at being the 100,000th customer and said: “I feel blessed to be standing here and celebrating this milestone in flyadeal’s history with my family. We chose flyadeal because my family has flown with your airline previously and recommended it. Currently, we feel flyadeal is the most attractive airline on the market. Not only are the prices very low, the service offers greater value than the price. We recommend flyadeal to anyone wishing to fly for less, and I look forward to being the 200,000th customer as well.” — SG
