European focus as flyadeal unveils summer routes

flyadeal announced its summer 2026 programme with a European focus.   Milan (Bergamo Airport) in Italy and Prague in the Czech Republic will be served for the first time, together with the return of three popular seasonal destinations, effective 1 July 2026. The Black Sea coastal city of Trabzon in northeastern Turkey will again join flyadeal’s seasonal network that also includes Sarajevo, the mountainous capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Egyptian resort of Sharm El Sheikh – the only non-European destination this summer.

flyadeal will operate a total of 12 summer-only routes between July and September covering five destinations from four Saudi cities – the capital Riyadh, western port city of Jeddah, Dammam in the country’s eastern province, and Qassim in the heart of the Kingdom. In one of the budget carrier’s most diverse summer schedules, the 12-week extended seasonal offering of almost 900 scheduled flights will provide Saudi travellers and expatriates with exciting options throughout the holiday period. The summer programme ends on September 26.

Lloyd Misquitta, flyadeal Acting Chief Commercial Officer, commented: “With summer fast-approaching, we’re delighted to give our customers a truly exceptional choice of destinations for the upcoming season. The summer programme has been in the planning stages for some time with the focus on offering customers options to relax, explore and enjoy a flavour of Europe’s most popular and authentic cultural-centric cities. We’re excited to bring back some of our favourite summer destinations in Egypt, Turkey and Bosnia & Herzegovina reflect flyadeal’s commitment to meet the demand of our loyal customer base. Whether planning a short or long break with friends and families especially during the school holidays, this summer promises plenty of variety.”

The summer routes will be operated by flyadeal’s modern fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft, featuring 186 seats in an all-Economy Class configuration. 

flyadeal has rapidly developed into the Middle East’s fastest growing airline, operating a young fleet of 46 Airbus A320 family aircraft from bases in Jeddah, Riyadh, Madinah and Dammam to more than 40 seasonal and year-round destinations across Saudi Arabia, and in the Middle East, Europe, North Africa and South Asia. By 2030, in line with Saudi Vision 2030, flyadeal expects to more than double its network and fleet to over 100 destinations and aircraft respectively.
