JEDDAH — flyadeal, Saudi Arabia's newest low-cost airline, has announced that it will be flying daily to Tabuk from May 3, 2018. The northern city is the latest addition to the airline’s growing network which now comprises seven key destinations in the Kingdom.

The launch of the new route is in line with the airline’s plan to cover the major cities of the Kingdom, and has been made possible by the recent arrival of “Al Qaws”, flyadeal’s sixth new Airbus A320 aircraft.

Starting in May, flyadeal will operate daily flights to Tabuk from both Jeddah and Riyadh.

The new destination has been launched to serve the residents of Tabuk by offering high value, affordable and convenient air travel options to the two largest cities in the Kingdom. In addition to convenient timings, the daily flights to and from Tabuk will be available at competitive prices starting from SR108 between Tabuk and Jeddah and SR198 between Tabuk and Riyadh, if booked sufficiently early.

With the new Tabuk flights, flyadeal provides an air link for customers in the Western and the Central Regions the opportunity to explore the heritage and nature tourism in Tabuk City.
