flyadeal has carried just over 1 million passengers in January 2026.
The low-cost Saudi airline's CEO Steven Greenway said capacity was up nearly 30% — an extra 275,000 seats — and load factor was in the “high 80s”.
“This follows record-breaking Julys and Augusts in 2025, when we welcomed over two million passengers across both months combined —but hitting seven figures in January feels different,” said Greenway.
flyadeal is expanding its fourth Saudi operational base in Madinah, with the launch of three new domestic routes, effective March 1, 2026.
The non-stop flights include Arar, Qassim, and Jazan.
