Bookme has partnered with Saudi Arabia’s budget airline Flyadeal to offer seamless booking services as the airline launches new routes connecting Karachi to Riyadh and Jeddah. Starting February 2, 2025, passengers can book flights directly through Bookme, including domestic flights within Saudi Arabia, using local payment options to avoid foreign transaction fees.
This collaboration, part of Bookme’s partnership with the Saudi Tourism Authority, enhances travel accessibility between the two nations. Flyadeal, known for its affordable fares, aims to cater to the increasing demand for travel by Pakistani nationals and expatriates. The platform also supports transactions in Pakistani Rupees, making travel planning more cost-effective.
Faizan Aslam, CEO of Bookme, welcomed the partnership, emphasizing its role in simplifying travel for Pakistanis while aligning with Saudi Vision 2030. He highlighted the significance of flyadeal’s entry into Pakistan, expressing optimism about the airline’s expansion in the region.
Flyadeal CEO Steven Greenway expressed enthusiasm about entering the Pakistani market, citing strong demand for flights to Saudi Arabia. The Karachi-Jeddah and Karachi-Riyadh routes are expected to strengthen ties between the two countries and lay the groundwork for further expansion.
Operating from Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, Flyadeal serves nearly 30 destinations and is expanding internationally, with Pakistan marking its first entry into South Asia. The airline’s network includes cities like Madinah, Qassim, and Neom, with new destinations Najran and Yanbu being added in January 2025.
This partnership underscores Bookme’s commitment to enhancing travel experiences and fostering closer ties between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. By integrating flyadeal into its platform, Bookme offers a streamlined and affordable option for travelers, marking a new chapter in regional connectivity.
