Saudi Arabia increases air connectivity to Neom
Saudi Arabia’s low-cost airline Flyadeal has introduced a new domestic
route linking Riyadh with Neom, a rapidly developing region in the northwest of
the kingdom.
The service runs four times a week, operating
between King Khalid International Airport
in Riyadh and Neom Bay Airport from Sunday through Wednesday. Flights depart
Riyadh at 17:45 and arrive in Neom at 20:00, while return flights leave at
21:00 and land back in Riyadh at 23:10. The route is served by an Airbus A320
configured with 186 economy-class seats.
This marks Flyadeal’s second connection to Neom, complementing its existing twice-weekly service from Dammam. The route is designed primarily to support commuter and workforce travel tied to ongoing development projects in the area.

resort featuring outdoor skiing facilities.
Lloyd Misquitta, Acting Chief Commercial
Officer at Flyadeal, stated that the new route reflects the airline’s
commitment to strengthening air connectivity and supporting the country’s
broader economic development goals.
The launch is part of Flyadeal’s continued domestic growth strategy, with local routes now making up around 70% of its total capacity. Earlier in 2026, the airline expanded its fleet to 45 aircraft and introduced three additional domestic routes from its Madinah base.
