The Saudi airline Flyadeal will launch four new direct flights between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan at the end of August, claiming its growing footprint in the region, Express News reported.
The weekly Riyadic services in Islamabad, Peshawar and Sialkot, as well as Dammam in Karachi, will start between August 24 and 26, each route operating two to three times a week using Airbus A320.
Flyadeal began new flights to Pakistan from Riyadh and Dammam.

The Riyad – Sialkot connection is particularly notable because it restores the direct service abandoned last year by PIA, making flyadeal the only supplier on this road.
Expansion underlines the emergence of Pakistan as a rapid growth market for Saudi carriers.
In 2024, around 5.9 million passengers traveled between the two countries, with a climbing seat capacity each year.
Flyadeal entered the Pakistani market in February 2025 with inaugural roads to Karachi from Jeddah and Riyadh. These new paths will effectively double its level of service in Pakistan.
