flynas, the leading low-cost airline in the world, recently celebrated its first direct flight between Jeddah and Djibouti, further expanding its network in Africa to meet its expansion plan and the national objectives in the aviation sector.
An inaugural celebration was held at King Abdulaziz International Airport, attended by Djibouti’s Ambassador to the Kingdom and Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, Dya-Eddine Bamakhrama, as well as representatives from flynas and Jeddah Airports Company.
Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to the Republic of Djibouti, Faisal Al-Qabbani, and Djibouti’s Minister of Infrastructure and Transport welcomed the flight at Djibouti International Airport.
Airline operates three weekly flights to Djibouti
As of January 8, flynas started operating three weekly flights between Jeddah and Djibouti, extending the travel options it offers to its guests traveling to and from Africa. This expansion falls in line with the airline’s growth and expansion plan, launched under the title “We Connect the World to the Kingdom.”
It also supports the objectives of the National Civil Aviation Strategy which seeks to enable national air carriers to contribute to connecting Saudi Arabia with 250 international destinations. The strategy also aims to accommodate 330 million passengers and host 150 million tourists yearly by 2030.
The new flynas route connecting Jeddah and Djibouti also serves the objectives of the Pilgrims Experience Program (PEP) to facilitate access to the Two Holy Mosques.

flynas boosts network with new destinations
In late December, flynas celebrated the inaugural flight from Dammam’s King Fahd International Airport to Red Sea International Airport (RSI), marking the first direct link between the Eastern Region and the Red Sea destination.
flynas will operate flights on this route twice weekly, on Thursdays and Saturdays, catering not only to the Red Sea destination but also to its neighboring areas. This new service complements the existing flights from Riyadh and Jeddah, enhancing connectivity between the Red Sea and the wider Kingdom.
The airline also launched three weekly direct flights between Prince Muhammed bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah and Sphinx International Airport in Cairo, increasing the frequency of its flights to the Egyptian capital. Starting December 11, flynas started operating three weekly flights on the new route, further expanding its flight network to Africa.
