Flyadeal Expands Domestic Network with New Riyadh–Neom Flights

Flyadeal has launched a new route connecting Riyadh to Neom, signaling the airline’s growing domestic footprint. The new Riyadh–Neom flights aim to support the kingdom’s ambitious infrastructure and tourism projects while enhancing regional connectivity.

The service operates four times weekly, from Sunday to Wednesday. Flights depart Riyadh at 17:45 and arrive in Neom at 20:00. The return leg leaves Neom at 21:00, landing in Riyadh at 23:10. Flyadeal uses an Airbus A320 configured with 186 all-economy seats to operate the route.

Riyadh marks Flyadeal’s second connection to Neom, complementing its existing twice-weekly Dammam–Neom service. This addition focuses on commuter and workforce travel, facilitating personnel movement to the kingdom’s growing development zones.

Located in Tabuk Province along the Red Sea, Neom is a flagship project that blends futuristic urban living with sustainable tourism. Signature developments include Trojena, a mountain resort that will feature outdoor ski slopes, offering residents and visitors unique leisure opportunities.

Lloyd Misquitta, Flyadeal Acting Chief Commercial Officer, said, “The new Riyadh–Neom flights reflect Flyadeal’s commitment to expanding air corridors that support the kingdom’s economic development initiatives.”

The launch aligns with Flyadeal’s broader domestic growth strategy. Currently, home market operations account for 70% of the airline’s overall capacity. In February 2026, the carrier added its first aircraft of the year, raising its fleet size to 45 aircraft. Alongside the Riyadh–Neom flights, the airline recently introduced three new domestic routes from its Madinah base, further strengthening its network.

Flyadeal’s expansion supports both business and tourism travel in Neom, reinforcing the region’s role as a hub for innovation and sustainable living. Travelers can expect increased flexibility, convenience, and access to one of Saudi Arabia’s most strategic destinations.
