Flynas, a budget airline from Saudi Arabia, will begin operations to India, with two weekly flights from next month.
According to a statement issued today by Bizpros Management, the official passenger sales agent for Flynas in India, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is expected to preside over the inaugural function of the airline's Indian operations in Hyderabad.
The airline will initially operate two weekly flights from Jeddah to Hyderabad on Saturday and Wednesday starting August 16 and to Calicut with two weekly flights on Monday and Wednesday starting on September 1, the release said.
Bizpros Management Managing Director Sajid Hazari said that the launch of flights to destinations in India is an exciting new development in the Flynas Global Flights programme.
