Expanding its connectivity between Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia, low-cost carrier flynas, is set to launch six new direct flights from Riyadh and Jeddah to the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, commencing on October 9th.
Network expansion
This network move aligns with flynas’ ambitious plans to extend its footprint within the African market. It’s also a pivotal step in realizing the airline’s growth and expansion strategy, which was unveiled last year under the captivating slogan, “We Connect the World to the Kingdom.”
Furthermore, this latest expansion is in sync with the National Civil Aviation Strategy‘s vision, which aims to cater to 330 million passengers and 100 million tourists, and expand the roster of international destinations linked to the Kingdom to over 250 by 2030.
The national initiative also seeks to enhance accessibility to the Holy Mosques, all while providing an exceptional travel experience.
