Emirates expands tie up with flynas, creating more seamless connections from Saudi Arabia

Emirates and flynas signed an expanded two-way interline partnership with plans to open up connections and more travel choices for flynas customers via Dubai. Emirates’ current interline with flynas provides its customers with enhanced connectivity via its four gateways – Riyadh, Jeddah, Medinah and Dammam – to over 15 domestic points in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It also includes the convenience of single ticket itineraries with onwards booking and baggage transfers. The MoU was signed at ATM by Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, and Bander Almohanna, Group CEO & Managing Director of flynas, in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline & Group, and flynas chairman Ayed Al Jeaid, along with other senior representatives from both airlines.
With the expansion of the interline to a bilateral arrangement, flynas customers can connect across any of Emirates’ gateways in the Kingdom to a select roster of onward destinations on the airline’s network in the Far East, West Asia & Indian Ocean and Europe, via Dubai.
Bander Almohanna, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director in flynas said: “With the expansion of the interline to a bilateral arrangement, flynas travelers can connect to a select roster of Emirates’ onward destinations on the airline’s network in the Far East, West Asia & Indian Ocean and Europe, via Dubai.

Once the expanded interline partnership is activated, customers will be able to book their travel on the flynas website, through online travel agencies as well as with local travel agents.”
