flynas will launch direct flights between Jeddah and the Moroccan capital, Rabat, starting 4 July 2026. The Saudi low-cost carrier says it will be the first Saudi airline to fly the route directly.
The service begins with one weekly flight and steps up to two weekly flights from 19 August, according to flynas’ announcement on X.
Here’s what the new route means if you’re travelling between Saudi Arabia and Morocco.
The new Jeddah–Rabat schedule
Rabat joins the flynas network directly from Jeddah on 4 July 2026, giving Saudi–Morocco travellers a second Moroccan gateway alongside Casablanca.
The frequency builds in two stages:
- From 4 July 2026: one weekly direct flight between Jeddah and Rabat.
- From 19 August 2026: two weekly direct flights on the route.
Flights operate between King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah (JED) and Rabat–Salé Airport (RBA).
You can book through all flynas channels — the website, the flynas app, the call centre on 920001234, or travel agents.
How it fits flynas’ Morocco network
The Rabat launch adds to flynas’ existing Jeddah–Casablanca service, which began in 2023 with three weekly flights.
That gives travellers two direct entry points into Morocco from Jeddah:
- Casablanca (CMN): three weekly flights to Morocco’s largest city and main business hub.
- Rabat (RBA): the new route into the capital, home to the country’s government, embassies and historic sites.
flynas frames the expansion as part of its push to grow in the African market, naming Rabat as its newest destination there.
The airline ties the move to Saudi Arabia’s National Civil Aviation Strategy, which targets 330 million passengers and 250 international destinations by 2030.
