The first flight from Ukraine to Saudi Arabia will take place on 11 June.

The flight Kyiv - Riyadh will be operated by the leading low-cost airline in the Middle East Flynas. The airline will operate direct flights on a regular basis.

Previously, Ukraine did not have a regular direct flight with Saudi Arabia. The flight required a transfer via Istanbul, Doha or Dubai.

It should be mentioned that at the end of May, the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov met with the Chief Executive Officer of Flynas Mr. Bander Al-Mohanna regarding the entry of a new carrier on the Ukrainian market.

Flynas is a Saudi Arabian leading low-cost carrier with a fleet of 30 aircrafts, operating more than 1200 weekly flights to 35 domestic and international destinations.
