Riyadh - December 18, 2025

flynas, the leading low-cost airline in the world and the best LCC in the Middle East, announced the resumption of its direct flights between Riyadh and the Turkish city of Antakya, the capital of Hatay province in southern Türkiye, starting from March 18, 2026.

Resuming flights between Riyadh and Antakya will further strengthen flynas’ network connecting Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Since launching its first flight from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh to Istanbul in 2008, flynas has expanded its direct operations between the two countries, operating from its various hubs and connecting Riyadh, Jeddah, and Madinah with Istanbul, as well as other seasonal destinations across Turkey, including Trabzon, Bodrum, Antalya, and Rize.

That expansion comes within flynas growth and expansion plan, launched under the title "We Connect the World to the Kingdom", in parallel with the objectives of the National Civil Aviation Strategy to enable national air carriers to contribute to connecting KSA with 250 International destinations and to accommodate 330 million passengers and to host 150 million tourists yearly by 2030, and with the objectives of the Pilgrims Experience Program (PEP) to facilitate access to the Two Holy Mosques.

Passengers traveling with flynas can book their flights through all flynas booking channels: www.flynas.com, the flynas app, the call centre (920001234), or travel agents.
