flynas is Saudi Arabia’s largest low-cost carrier, flying an all-Airbus fleet out of its Riyadh hub to around 80 destinations in 38 countries.
It is a separate business from national carrier Saudia and from the startup Riyadh Air, and it listed on the Saudi Exchange in 2025. This page tracks what flynas has actually announced, then gives you the fares and practical detail you need for a routine trip or a Hajj or Umrah journey.

flynas fares right now
Wego pulled cheapest return economy fares for flynas out of Riyadh from real searches on our own metasearch on 11 August 2026, for departures on 22 September 2026 returning 29 September 2026, in USD.
These are fully flynas-operated round trips only. Itineraries with any leg flown by a codeshare or partner airline were excluded, even where a cheaper mixed-carrier fare existed.
From Riyadh, the cheapest options run from a short hop to Jeddah up to the long haul to New Delhi, with Cairo, Dubai, Amman, Istanbul and Karachi in between.

Mumbai is worth flagging separately. On the dates searched, every itinerary returned for the Mumbai to Riyadh leg was operated in part by Akasa Air or IndiGo rather than flynas, so no fully flynas-operated round trip appears above. flynas does fly Riyadh to Mumbai nonstop on the outbound; the gap is on the return.
These are a dated sample, not live pricing. Check current flynas fares on Wego before you book.
Fleet and aircraft
flynas flies an all-Airbus fleet of 67 aircraft built around the A320 family, and its order book is one of the largest in the region.
- 61 Airbus A320neo, the backbone of the domestic and regional network
- 4 Airbus A320ceo, the older generation still in service
- 2 Airbus A330-300, the widebodies used on longer Asia and East Africa routes
- 235 aircraft on firm order, including 56 A321neos and 20 A330-900neos that will let flynas fly further and add seats
Hubs, network and the Hajj and Umrah operation
flynas is based at Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport and also operates from Jeddah, Dammam, Madinah and Abha, with the sixth base at Al-Qassim added in 2026. It runs 156 routes and more than 2,000 weekly flights.
What sets flynas apart from most low-cost carriers is the scale of its pilgrim traffic. Because Jeddah and Madinah sit at the gateway to Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque, the airline adds capacity and frequencies into both cities around the pilgrimage calendar.
For anyone travelling for Umrah or Hajj, that means more direct options into Jeddah than a typical short-haul budget carrier offers. Book hotels in Jeddah or Madinah early during peak windows, when rooms and seats both sell out fast.
Baggage allowance and check-in
flynas sells fares unbundled, so your checked allowance comes from the fare bundle you pick rather than from the airline as a whole.
Checked baggage by flynas fare bundle
No single checked piece may exceed 32kg, and two hold pieces is the maximum per passenger. On Indian subcontinent and Sudan routes, the Light fare already carries 20kg. Allowances are banded by route, so confirm yours at booking.
Online check-in opens a set number of hours before departure and is worth doing in advance, since airport desks close earlier on flynas than on full-service carriers.
Loyalty programme: nasmiles
nasmiles is the flynas loyalty programme. Members earn miles on flynas flights and redeem them against future flynas fares, with tiering and partner benefits that build the more you fly.
As with most low-cost carrier schemes, the value sits in frequent repeat travel rather than broad partner redemption, so it suits regular flyers on the Riyadh to Jeddah to Dammam network more than occasional leisure travellers.
How to contact flynas or manage a booking
Date changes, cancellations and refund requests are handled through the airline’s own website and app, where you can log in with your booking reference to manage an existing trip.
flynas also runs customer service contact centres and social channels. Its official channels are the right place for anything involving a schedule change, a name correction or a dispute, rather than a third-party booking site.
Frequently asked questions

No. Saudia is the national flag carrier and a full-service airline, while flynas is an independently listed low-cost carrier. Both are Saudi-owned but they run as distinct businesses with separate fleets, fare structures and loyalty programmes.
Is flynas the same as Riyadh Air?
No. Riyadh Air is a newer Saudi carrier still building out its operation, distinct from flynas, which has been flying since 2007 and is already listed on the Saudi Exchange.
What aircraft does flynas fly?
An all-Airbus fleet of 67 aircraft: 61 A320neos, 4 older A320ceos and 2 A330-300 widebodies for longer routes. A further 235 aircraft are on firm order, including A321neos and A330-900neos.
Does flynas fly to Makkah or Madinah directly?
Makkah has no commercial airport, so pilgrims fly into Jeddah and travel onward by road. flynas does fly directly into Madinah, and it runs expanded seasonal capacity into both cities around the Hajj and Umrah calendar.
