Saudi Arabia's low-cost airline, flyadeal, is set to expand its operations with the acquisition of new Airbus A330neo widebody aircraft. The airline, based in Jeddah and owned by Saudia, currently operates a fleet primarily composed of Airbus A320 family narrowbody aircraft. However, it has begun integrating leased Airbus A330s for longer routes.
According to Cirium data, flyadeal's longest scheduled flights for May 2025 include routes from Jeddah to Namangan and Tashkent in Uzbekistan. These flights are operated using leased A330s from other airlines such as Air Anka and GullivAir. "It should be noted that it is clear these four A330s are currently operating flights for flyadeal," despite not being listed in Cirium's official schedule.
The airline also serves shorter routes within the Middle East, Asia, and Africa using its existing A320 fleet. Notable among these are flights from Jeddah to Karachi and Riyadh to Istanbul.
