Saudi Arabia’s flynas has announced it will launch direct flights between Riyadh and Bahrain.

The announcement adds Bahrain’s capital to a growing list of regional destinations connected to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with daily flights from flynas, including Cairo, Dubai, Doha, and Amman.

The move underlines Saudi Arabia’s growth and expansion strategy as it aims to attract 100m tourists annually by 2030 and to connect the Kingdom with 250 international destinations.

This step comes in line with the Memorandum of Understanding signed recently between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain to promote the two kingdoms regionally and internationally as one tourist destination.

It is hoped this will reinforce tourism industry growth and collaborations between the tourism entities in the two countries.

flynas connects more than 70 domestic and international destinations with more than 1,500 weekly flights and has flown more than 60 million passengers since its launch in 2007, aiming to reach 165 domestic and international destinations.
