Buy flynas Flights with Alternative Airlines
Founded in 2007, flynasطيران ناسi, previously Nas Air, is a Saudi Arabian low-cost airline that operates domestic and international flights. The airline flies to over 35 destinations. It is the original low-cost airline of Saudi Arabia and the main low-cost airline within the country, alongside flyadeal.
The airline has its main operating base at Jeddah, at King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED), with its head office located in Riyadh. Another full-service carrier called RIA will be launching its operations at King Abdulaziz International Airport by the end of 2022. This is good news for passengers who travel in and from Saudi Arabia as the increased competition will result in relatively low fares and increased frequencies. In addition, the airline has secondary hubs in Riyadh, Medina, and Dammam.
At the time that it launched, the only other Saudi airline in Saudi Arabia was Saudi Arabian Airlines. Under the Nas Air name, it became the first and only Saudi low-cost airline in the country. In 2009, it launched its first international route connecting Assiut with Sharm el-Sheikh. In November 2013, the airline changed its name from Nas Air to flynas. After some success, flynas later launched more international routes to cities in Turkey and Pakistan and more destinations later on. In April 2014, it became the first low-cost airline to serve a Saudi Arabia to UK route, with its Jeddah to London Gatwick route.
In 2012, flynas made a codeshare agreement with Etihad, which placed the airline's code on flights from Abu Dhabi. The codeshare agreement between flynas and Etihad as been highly successful and still stands today. The agreement allows for greater connectivity between the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the rest of the world by allowing flynas to offer connections on certain flights within Etihad's massive global route network.
Flynas became officially joined IATA in 2020, which opened up a whole new set of opportunities for the airline to connect and co-operate with other airlines that have joined IATA.
