Saudi based Flynas looking to fly to India

Saudi Araba based Flynas, initially started as domestic low cost airline is now flying several international routes. The news is that Flynas is looking to fly to India as well.

The Flynas website claims their international tickets start at SAR 199 onwards (USD 50 or INR 3500+) which is a good deal. If they begin India flights, Indian travelers will have a budget way to explore Middle East, Africa and a bit of Europe. The executives fro Flynas with whom I had a quick talk during Arabian Travel mart (ATM 2018) in Dubai said they wanted to fly to Mumbai and Delhi but getting an airport slot has been near impossible as these two airports are operating at their full capacity. Flynas is reportedly exploring which other Indian city they can fly to.

Once they begin, Flynas would compete with FlyDubai, Air Arabia and India's low cost carriers like Spicejet and Indigo for budget conscious outbound travelers visiting Middle East, Africa and Southern Europe. We will keep an eye for more details.

Update: Flynas has commenced India operations from Hyderabad
