Saudi Arabian low-cost carrier Flyadeal has launched a new domestic route connecting Riyadh with NEOM in the kingdom’s northwest region.  The service operates four times a week, from Sunday to Wednesday, between King Khalid International Airport (RUH) and NEOM Bay Airport (NUM).

Flights depart Riyadh at 17:45, arriving in NEOM at 20:00, while the return leg leaves at 21:00, landing in Riyadh at 23:10. The route is operated by an Airbus A320, configured with 186 all-economy seats.

Opened in 2019, NEOM Bay is the Kingdom’s fourth airport, designed to support travel to a region focused on tourism, sustainable living, and manufacturing, as well as logistics, key pillars of Vision 2030’s economic diversification strategy beyond oil.

Flyadeal serves over 40 destinations, both seasonal and year-round, across Saudi Arabia as well as the Middle East, Europe, and North Africa, as well as South Asia.

By 2030, in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030, flyadeal plans to more than double both its fleet and route network, expanding to over 100 aircraft and destinations.
