(Web Desk): Saudi airline Flyadeal has launched lower-fare flights between Saudi and Pakistan to connect Madina directly with Karachi twice weekly.

New Direct Route Expands Regional Connectivity

The budget carrier will operate the service using modern Airbus A320neo aircraft fitted with 186 Economy seats. Madina now becomes the second major Saudi city to share a direct air link with Karachi after Riyadh.

Affordable Base Rates Offer Flexible Travel Options

One-way economy tickets from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia start around USD 188, while select return routes begin as low as USD 88. Passengers booking these flights can save significantly on travel expenses, keeping typical airfare budgets below Rs299,382 per trip.

Budget Carrier Expands Operational Network Across Major Cities

Flyadeal began scheduled flights to Pakistan in early 2025 and currently serves Islamabad, Lahore, Peshawar, and Sialkot. The low-cost airline continues to expand its footprint to offer affordable international connections across the region.

Central Asian Airline Also Enters Local Aviation Market

Meanwhile, Uzbekistan carrier Centrum Air launched direct flight operations between Tashkent and Karachi Airport aboard an Airbus A320. This expansion reflects growing air traffic demand and increased airline competition across South Asian aviation hubs.

This new route will make travel much easier and cheaper for religious pilgrims and foreign workers moving between both nations. Added flight options from budget carriers help lower airfares by creating healthy competition among international airlines. Better air connectivity also strengthens business ties and makes cross-border travel more accessible for everyday passengers.
