RIYADH: º£½ÇÖ±²¥â€™s budget airline flyadeal on Sunday launched operations from Dammam to Bisha.
The addition of the new destination to the company’s flight network is part of its expansion plans.
It is a pure low-cost airline, with passengers charged for meals and checked luggage, a model that has so far not had major success in the Middle East beyond UAE-headquartered Air Arabia. The Saudi government owns the airline through state carrier Saudia.
Ahmed Al-Barahim, executive vice president for commercial and customer affairs, vowed to ensure good service for passengers.
He said the airline will continue to expand its fleet and flight network.
Fahd Al-Harbi, CEO of Dammam Airports Co., said healthy competition between airlines will support the Kingdom’s drive to boost domestic tourism.
