The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Pakistan had already given Flyadeal approval for operating flights to Pakistan.
Flyadeal’s entry into the market is likely to enhance travel options for passengers, offering direct flights and enhancing connectivity between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
Flyadeal’s entry is expected to intensify competition among airlines operating on Saud-Pakistan routes, potentially leading to better fares and improves service offerings for passengers.
