flynas, a leading Saudi Arabian airline and a prominent low-cost carrier both in the Middle East and globally, has once again been bestowed with the honor of being the world’s fourth-best low-cost airline by the International Skytrax Organization. This recognition marks the second consecutive year flynas has achieved this prestigious global ranking. Furthermore, flynas has maintained its position as the best low-cost carrier in the Middle East for 2024, a distinction it has held for an impressive seven consecutive years. The CEO of flynas, Bander Almohanna, accepted the award at the annual Skytrax Awards ceremony held in London.
The Skytrax Awards, widely recognized as the most prestigious accolades within the aviation industry, are determined annually through comprehensive passenger surveys. On this momentous occasion, Almohanna stated, “Consolidating our position among the top four in the low-cost aviation sector worldwide and the Best LCC in the Middle East for the seventh time in a row, according to Skytrax awards, is a resounding success in the name of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Today, Saudi Arabia stands at the forefront of the world’s nations in various fields, particularly in the travel, tourism, and aviation sectors, which have received significant attention and are central to the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.”
He continued, “This remarkable achievement was made possible thanks to the enduring loyalty of our valued guests, the unwavering dedication of our exceptional team, and the tremendous support that all Saudi companies enjoy from the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz and his Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, may God protect them.”
Highlighting flynas’ commitment to growth and excellence, Almohanna added, “Scooping the award for the seventh time in a row reflects flynas’ persistent commitment to excellence in products and services within our expansive and ambitious growth plan, launched under the slogan (We Connect the World to the Kingdom). This aligns perfectly with the objectives of the National Civil Aviation Strategy, which aims to enable national air carriers to contribute to connecting KSA with 250 international destinations, accommodate 330 million passengers, and host 100 million tourists annually by 2030. It also complements the goals of the Pilgrims Experience Program (PEP) to facilitate seamless access to the Two Holy Mosques.”
flynas currently operates over 1,500 weekly flights to more than 70 domestic and international destinations. Looking ahead, flynas has ambitious plans to expand its network to an impressive 165 destinations. This significant growth trajectory aligns perfectly with the aspirations of Saudi Vision 2030, demonstrating flynas’ commitment to playing a pivotal role in the Kingdom’s ambitious economic and social development agenda.
