Saudi Arabia's FlyNAS to Start Direct Flights to Prague

Prague Morning

After a five-year break, the Saudi low-cost airline Flynas will launch a new direct flight between Prague and Riyadh.

The carrier did not specify when exactly the new airline will start operating, but Prague has already appeared in the list of destinations on its official website. The cost of tickets is also still unknown.

The route will be served by an Airbus A320neo.

Until 2016, Czech Airlines flew between the two capitals, however, the flight was later canceled due to low demand.

About Flynas

Operations started in February that year. In late 2007, Nas Air firmed up an order for the acquisition of 20 aircraft of the Airbus A320 family.
