Saudi airline flyadeal adding Larnaca route from June

Saudi Arabian low-cost airline flyadeal, a sister airline of full-service national carrier Saudia, is from June adding Larnaca to its list of destinations.

According to the airline, flyadeal currently operates scheduled flights to 17 domestic destinations across Saudi Arabia and six in Europe, Middle East and Africa. But, from June, the airline will triple its international footprint with 12 additional destinations in Europe and Middle East. As well as Larnaca, these include Rhodes and Heraklion in Greece; Sarajevo (Bosnia), Tivat (Montenegro), Izmir, Antalya, Bodrum and Trabzon in Turkey, Baku (Azerbaijan), Tbilisi, (Georgia); and Sharm el Sheikh (Egypt).

The airline also recently partnered with Wego, which provides travel search websites and mobile apps for travelers living in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East regions.

The partnership gives Wego users the chance to directly book flights on flyadeal through its platform.
