Saudi airline Flydeal has launched direct flights between Saudi and Pakistan, offering lower fares for travellers between the two countries.

The new service connects Madina with Karachi and will operate twice a week using Airbus A320neo aircraft configured with 186 all-Economy Class seats.

Madina becomes the second Saudi city, after Riyadh, to have a direct Flyadeal connection with Karachi.

How cheap are Flyadeal flights between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan?

Flyadeal offers low base fares as a budget airline, but extra costs for baggage, food, and seat selection can increase the final price.

One-way economy flights from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia start around USD 188 (approx. SAR 879/898), while select flights from Riyadh to Lahore can start as low as USD 88.

The low-cost airline began scheduled services to Pakistan in early 2025 and now serves multiple Pakistani cities, including Karachi, Islamabad, Peshawar, Sialkot, and Lahore.

Uzbekistan’s international airline Centrum Air has also launched flights to Pakistan, further expanding air connectivity between Pakistan and Uzbekistan.

The first flight from Tashkent arrived at Karachi Airport at 4:20am on September 3, carrying passengers aboard an Airbus A320.
