Crystal Travel | Travel News | 7 July 2026

Saudi low-cost carrier begins first-ever flights to Italy and the Czech Republic as part of a wider seasonal route expansion.

Flyadeal Launches New Europe Routes

Flyadeal has launched its summer 2026 seasonal flight network, introducing new routes to Milan and Prague while resuming services to Trabzon, Sarajevo and Sharm El Sheikh. The expansion marks a major milestone for the Saudia Group's low-cost carrier, representing its first-ever operations to both Italy and the Czech Republic.

Flyadeal Milan and Prague Routes Mark Airline's European Debut

The addition of Milan and Prague to flyadeal's network reflects the carrier's growing ambitions beyond its established domestic and regional routes. These new destinations give travellers in Saudi Arabia direct access to two of Europe's most visited cities, both known for their history, architecture, and cultural appeal.

Milan is one of Italy's most prominent cities, recognised for its fashion, design and business links, while Prague is known for its well-preserved old town and Central European charm. The launch of these routes is likely to appeal to a broad mix of travellers, from leisure holidaymakers to those visiting friends and family across Europe.

Flyadeal Summer 2026 Seasonal Flight Schedule Explained

The summer 2026 programme will operate until 26 September 2026 and includes 12 seasonal routes in total. These connect five leisure destinations, Milan, Prague, Trabzon, Sarajevo, and Sharm El Sheikh, with four Saudi cities: Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and Qassim.

Alongside the new Milan and Prague services, flyadeal is also resuming previously operated routes to Trabzon in Türkiye, Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt. The return of these three destinations points to continued demand among Saudi travellers for both city breaks and coastal holidays.

Flyadeal Adds Nearly 900 Flights for Peak Summer Travel

Flyadeal to Operate Nearly 900 Flights During Peak Summer Season

At the height of the summer travel period, flyadeal expects to operate close to 900 flights across its expanded seasonal network. This increase in flight volume is designed to give travellers greater choice and connectivity, with more departure options available from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Qassim throughout the peak months.

The scale of the programme highlights the airline's continued focus on leisure travel demand, as more Saudi-based travellers look to Europe, Türkiye, the Balkans and Egypt for their summer getaways. With flyadeal expanding its European presence for the first time, the move also reflects a broader trend among low-cost carriers in the Middle East to widen their reach into new international markets.

What the Flyadeal Route Expansion Means for Travellers

For passengers based in Saudi Arabia, the new routes to Milan and Prague offer fresh options for European travel, while the resumed services to Trabzon, Sarajevo and Sharm El Sheikh provide continuity for popular seasonal getaways. With 12 routes now running across five destinations and four Saudi departure points, travellers have a wider set of choices when planning summer trips.

As airlines continue to adjust and expand their networks ahead of the busy summer season, staying informed on new routes and scheduling changes can help travellers make the most of emerging options.
