About flyadeal
Here is comprehensive information about flyadeal:
flyadeal (ICAO: FAD) is a Saudi Arabian low-cost airline that commenced operations on September 23, 2017, following its founding by Saudia, the national flag carrier of Saudi Arabia, on April 17, 2016. The airline was established as a subsidiary under the Saudia Group's SV2020 Transformation Strategy, aiming to cater to the underserved budget travel segment within Saudi Arabia. It specifically targets domestic travelers, Hajj and Umrah pilgrims, and the increasing number of tourists.
The airline's main operational base is King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, with additional hubs in Riyadh and Dammam. flyadeal operates a modern fleet primarily composed of Airbus A320-family aircraft. As of late 2025, its fleet has grown to 44 Airbus A320-family aircraft, with further expansion plans including the delivery of more A320neo and A321neo aircraft until 2028. The airline is also venturing into widebody operations, with an order for 10 Airbus A330neo aircraft slated for delivery starting in July 2027, and one A330-200 already wet-leased as of October 2024.
flyadeal's route network focuses on domestic destinations within Saudi Arabia and extends to a growing number of international locations across the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and South Asia. As of 2023, its network covered 31 destinations (18 domestic and 13 international), with plans to expand to over 100 destinations by 2030. Notable international expansion in early 2025 included new routes to Karachi, Amman, and Istanbul's Sabiha Gökçen Airport. As a low-cost carrier, flyadeal operates with an all-Economy Class cabin, focusing on unbundled services where passengers pay for extras such as baggage and onboard food/drinks. While it offers web check-in, USB charging, and dedicated female-only seat rows, in-flight entertainment, screens, and Wi-Fi are generally not available. flyadeal is not a member of any global airline alliances like Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld.
