CEO Steven Greenway highlights importance of Pakistan travel market
\n Islamabad
\nflyadeal, Saudi Arabia\u2019s fast-growing low-cost airline, has officially opened a dedicated new sales and marketing office in Islamabad marking its rapid expansion in Pakistan.
\nOn a flying visit to Pakistan\u2019s capital city, flyadeal Chief Executive Officer Steven Greenway affirmed the airline\u2019s commitment to being part of the country\u2019s dynamic air travel market.
\nflyadeal launched non-stop scheduled flights from Saudi Arabia to Pakistan in February, connecting Riyadh and Jeddah to the country\u2019s commercial hub of Karachi which signalled the airline\u2019s first move into South Asia.
\nSince then flyadeal has significantly scaled up frequency, now operating 18 non-stop services each week between the two countries serving a total of five gateway cities in Pakistan \u2013 Karachi, Peshawar, Sialkot, Lahore and Islamabad.
\n\u201cOur Pakistan flights have proved a great success since our entry bringing affordable low fares and reliable punctual services to this exciting market,\u201d said Greenway.
\n\u201cHaving expanded from one to five cities across the country in the space of just eight months thanks to regulatory and travel industry support, it\u2019s only a matter of time before we grow further with much-needed additional capacity and provide the travelling public with wider reach and greater choice of non-stop flights bridging both countries.\u201d
\nflyadeal has partnered with leading general sales agent Matchless Travel to serve the travel trade and members of the public across Pakistan through its nationwide network of offices.
\nFarooq Ahmad, flyadeal Head of Sales, added: \u201cflyadeal has developed a great relationship with Pakistan\u2019s travel agency community, quickly building confidence within the trade of our value added product offering. Our dedicated sales office in Islamabad complements the efforts of Matchless by providing increased brand presence and awareness.\u201d
\nFollowing the sales office opening, flyadeal\u2019s senior management team from head office in Jeddah and Karachi hosted Islamabad\u2019s travel trade to a thank you dinner.
\nAll flyadeal services to and from Pakistan are operated with Airbus A320 family aircraft in a single 186-seat Economy Class configuration.
\nThe flights cater to a mix of business, leisure, pilgrim and migrant worker traffic, as well as the large outbound Pakistani expatriate community living in the Kingdom. Jeddah-bound flights serve as the gateway to the Saudi holy city of Makkah.
\nflyadeal operates scheduled flights from bases in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam to more than 30 domestic and international seasonal and year-round destinations in the Middle East, Europe, North Africa and South Asia with a modern fleet of 43 Airbus A320 family aircraft.
\nEffective 1 January 2026, flyadeal will add Madinah as its fourth base in the Kingdom, a strategic move to enhance air travel options to and from the Holy city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
