flyadeal marks one year of services to Islamabad, Peshawar and Sialkot as its Pakistan operations expand to 40 weekly flights and seven routes between the two countries. The airline began operating from Riyadh to these northern Pakistan destinations in August 2025, following the launch of its first Pakistan services to Karachi from Jeddah and Riyadh in February of that year.
Expanding the network across the country
Lahore was subsequently added to the network in October 2025, taking flyadeal’s Pakistan presence to five destinations within less than a year of entering the market. The carrier has also recently announced flights between Madinah and Karachi, bringing its network to seven routes serving Pakistan.
During the current IATA Summer Schedule 2026, flyadeal is operating 90% more flights to Pakistan than during the same period in 2025. The airline currently operates 40 flights per week between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Of these, 12 weekly services operate to and from Islamabad, Peshawar and Sialkot.
Between August 2025 and July 2026, flyadeal carried close to 220,000 passengers between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. The traffic includes passengers travelling to visit friends and relatives, as well as for business, employment, tourism and religious purposes.
On the ground expansion in Pakistan
Alongside its capacity expansion, the airline has increased its travel trade distribution network in Pakistan. It now works with more than 1,100 registered travel agents, several online travel agency partners and major travel groups across the country.

flyadeal has also established 10 sales and service outlets in Pakistan, comprising five locations in major cities and five at airports. The outlets are supported by a dedicated team of representatives serving travel trade partners and customers.
The expansion of the airline’s Pakistan operations is intended to increase non-stop connectivity and travel options between the two countries while serving demand linked to their social, cultural and economic relationships.
Pakistan has become one of flyadeal’s most important international markets in a remarkably short time span, and our first year of operations across the country reflects the deep economic, cultural, and people-to-people ties between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
Our role at flyadeal is to make travel more accessible, more frequent and more reliable for the communities that depend on these links. We are humbled by the response from customers and partners to our Pakistan services, which reaffirms our belief that travellers value our product, the quality of our service, and the reliability we offer.
