Representatives of Uzbekistan Airports, media and air spotters took part in the solemn ceremony of welcoming the first board.

Direct flights on a regular basis on the Jeddah - Tashkent - Jeddah route will be operated on Airbus A330 aircraft with a frequency of five times a week - on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays.

From December 1, planes in this direction will fly every day. In addition, from December 15, in addition to Tashkent, Flyadeal will launch flights from Jeddah to Namangan.

"Today, Flyadeal has become a new partner of Uzbekistan Airports, adding to the list of international airlines operating flights to airports in Uzbekistan. Speaking specifically about this airline, it is important to emphasize that it is one of the young and dynamically developing airlines with a rapidly growing fleet. It is also planned to launch additional routes Jeddah - Namangan and Medina - Tashkent in the near future," said Javlonbek Umarkhodjaev, Head of Uzbekistan Airports.

"Flyadeal strives to provide passengers with a high level of service, convenient schedules and affordable prices for flights. We are confident that the launch of these flights will not only be an important step in the development of aviation communication between Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia, but also make air travel available to pilgrims traveling to Saudi Arabia to perform Umra and Hajj, which is an important task for the company," said Dilmurodkhon Bakhtierkhonov, representative of Flyadeal in Uzbekistan.

For reference: Flyadeal is a Saudi budget airline based at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah. The airline was established in 2017 by Saudi flagship airline Saudia as part of the transformation strategy of the Saudia Group.
