RIYADH – Saudi air carrier and the leading low-cost airline in the Middle East and the world, flynas, has announced the initiation of direct flights from Jeddah to Osh, the second-largest city in Kyrgyzstan. The route was launched in collaboration with the Air Connectivity Program (ACP) as part of flynas’ ambitious expansion plans.

The inaugural event, attended by representatives from the Air Connectivity Program, flynas and Jeddah Airports Company (JEDCO), celebrated the commencement of non-stop flights from King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah to Osh International Airport. This initiative further enhances the range of travel options to Central Asian destinations provided by flynas.

The new route will feature three weekly flights every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, catering to both tourists and residents with affordable, point-to-point travel. Additionally, flynas plans to introduce another air route to Kyrgyzstan early in October, operating three weekly flights from Jeddah to the capital, Bishkek.

The strategic collaboration between flynas and ACP is a significant milestone in driving Saudi Arabia’s tourism growth and is in line with the Saudi ecosystem’s broader efforts to attract 100 million tourists annually to the Kingdom by 2030.The strategic collaboration between flynas and ACP is a significant milestone in driving Saudi Arabia’s tourism growth and is in line with the Saudi ecosystem’s broader efforts to attract 100 million tourists annually to the Kingdom by 2030.
