Riyadh - Mubasher: Saudi low-cost airline flyadeal has launched scheduled services to India with daily flights between Riyadh and Hyderabad beginning 1 July 2026, according to a press release.
Tickets are now available on sale, bookable via flyadeal’s mobile app on Android and iOS, its website www.flyadeal.com, and through travel agents, including online agencies.
The Hyderabad route will be operated by flyadeal’s Airbus A320neo aircraft with 186 seats in an all-Economy Class configuration.
The acting CEO of flyadeal, Sanjiv Kapoor, said: “India, a long-awaited addition to flyadeal’s growing network of international destinations, is a key part of Saudia Group and flyadeal’s long-term strategy.”
He added: “flyadeal will soon announce a second Indian destination as we execute our India market strategy.”
Over the past three years, flyadeal has operated special Hajj and Umrah pilgrim-only flights from select points in India to Saudi Arabia, but this is the first time the airline will operate regular scheduled services between the two countries.
India marks a significant addition to flyadeal’s international network, which already includes scheduled flights from Saudi Arabia to the UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, and Pakistan.
In line with Saudi Vision 2030, flyadeal expects to more than double its network and fleet to over 100 destinations and aircraft, respectively, with Airbus A321neos and widebody A330-900neos joining its all-A320 fleet from 2027.
Last February, the kingdom's fast-growing low-cost airline received its first new aircraft of 2026, an Airbus A320neo, increasing its fleet to 45 all-narrowbody passenger jets.
