Dammam, the fifth most populous city in Saudi Arabia will also be linked to four new destinations starting this summer.

The CEO of Flynas, Bander Almohanna, expressed his thoughts on the development of the route network: “Flynas is keen to continue growing in its operations through upscaling its fleet by 50% during the current year 2023 compared to 2021”. “This approach is in line with the objectives of the Saudi Vision 2030 and the civil aviation strategy to reach 330 million passengers, 250 international destinations, and 100 million tourists annually”.
Flynas started operating in 2007 under the name of Nas Air. The company changed names in 2013 and started steadily growing from there until now, when it has a fleet of 43 aircraft serving 1500 flights every week. More than 70 million passengers travel to more than 70 domestic and international destinations.
