Flynas launches direct flights from Madinah to Tashkent and Namangan

Flynas, the world’s leading low-cost airline and the first in the Middle East, has celebrated the launch of its first direct flights between Madinah and the Uzbek cities of Tashkent and Namangan. The new routes, operated in cooperation with the Saudi Air Connectivity Program, depart from Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah, further expanding Flynas’ international network and offering more travel options between Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan.

On November 8, Madinah hosted a ceremony marking the inaugural Flynas direct flight to Tashkent, the Uzbek capital, with two weekly flights. On November 10, the airline launched its direct service to Namangan, Uzbekistan’s third-largest city after Tashkent and Samarkand, with three weekly flights. The events were attended by representatives from Flynas and Taiba Airports Operation Company, which manages Madinah airport.

The addition of these two new destinations is part of Flynas’ growth and expansion strategy, launched under the slogan “We Connect the World to the Kingdom.” The move aims to strengthen air connectivity between Saudi Arabia and regional and international markets, in line with the National Aviation Strategy and Saudi Vision 2030, which seeks to establish the Kingdom as a global hub for aviation and travel.

The new flights will also make it easier for travelers from Uzbekistan to reach Madinah and provide direct travel options for those wishing to visit the Two Holy Mosques and perform Umrah, enhancing air connectivity and enriching the experience for pilgrims.

Flynas, the world’s leading low-cost carrier and the first listed on Saudi Arabia’s main stock market (Tadawul), operates more than 2,000 weekly flights to over 80 domestic and international destinations across 38 countries via 156 routes. Since its launch in 2007, the airline has carried 110 million passengers and aims to reach 165 destinations as part of its growth plan aligned with Vision 2030.
