Pakistani low-cost airline Fly Jinnah has announced the expansion of its operations in Saudi Arabia, introducing daily non-stop flights between Islamabad and Riyadh starting March 30.
The new route will connect Islamabad International Airport and King Khalid International Airport, further strengthening Fly Jinnah’s presence in the Kingdom. This expansion aligns with the airline’s goal of enhancing connectivity between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia to meet the rising travel demand.
Fly Jinnah, a joint venture between Pakistan’s Lakson Group and Sharjah-based Air Arabia Group, obtained permits for international flights in October 2023 and has since expanded rapidly within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
Recently, the airline launched non-stop flights between Lahore and key Saudi cities, including Dammam, Riyadh, and Jeddah.
A spokesperson for Fly Jinnah stated, “This expansion reflects our commitment to offering affordable and convenient travel options while strengthening cultural and economic ties between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.”
Fly Jinnah currently operates a fleet of six Airbus A320 aircraft and maintains a strong domestic network, serving major Pakistani cities such as Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, and Quetta. The airline also runs double daily flights between Sharjah and Lahore as part of its growing international presence.
