Saudi Arabian low-cost airline flynas has been named the best Low Cost Carrier in the Middle East for 2023. It has now held this accolade for 6 consecutive years.
In addition, the Saudi airline was recognised as the fourth best low-cost airline worldwide.
The airline has been awarded the titles by the International Skytrax Organization, the global reference for assessing airlines performance.
A strong performance
During the Paris Air Show just last week, the annual Skytrax awards ceremony took place at the Paris Le Bourget Airport. The ceremony saw multiple airlines handed top awards in their respective categories, and among those airlines is Saudi Arabia’s flynas.
By Skytrax, flynas was awarded the titles of “Fourth Best Low Cost Airline in the World” and “Best Low Cost Carrier in the Middle East” for the sixth time in a row. On the two awards, Chief Executive Officer of flynas, Bander Almohanna said:
“We take pride in this high-level recognition for flynas as the 4th best LCC worldwide while keeping our ranking as the best LCC in the Middle East.”

“Winning this prestigious award is a testament to the continued excellence of flynas, which we seek to maintain by consolidating our position as the best LCC in the Middle East, one of the top carriers in this category worldwide, and the owner of the most modern fleet in the region.”
