Abu Dhabi Airports recently welcomed flynas’ inaugural flight from Riyadh.
The airline commenced its new service with a direct flight, five times per week. Eng Ahmad Al Haddabi, chief operations officer of Abu Dhabi Airports, along with senior executives from Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi), welcomed Bander Al Mohanna, CEO of NAS Holding, and key flynas officials.
flynas will operate the new route using an Airbus A320 aircraft with a capacity of 164 guests in a two-class configuration – 156 in economy and eight in business class.

Bander Al Mohanna, CEO of NAS Holding, said: “Adding Abu Dhabi to our GCC route network is an important strategic step for flynas for multiple reasons, including our codeshare agreement with Etihad Airways as well as the long-standing friendship and the strong bilateral business and economic ties shared by the two nations. Moreover, Abu Dhabi’s growing prominence as both a leading family-friendly tourism destination and a strategic business hub.”
