NEWS FLASH
Saudi Arabian low cost carrier Flynas inaugurated flights between Jeddah and Pristina today, marking the first time the two cities have been linked with a scheduled air service. With 66 passengers onboard the inaugural flight, the aircraft was welcomed by officials and a water cannon salute. The route will be maintained three times per week, on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, with an A320 aircraft. Commenting on the new service, Lulzim Mjeku, Ambassador of Kosovo to Saudi Arabia, said, “The launch of direct Flynas flights between Jeddah and Pristina is more than a tourism milestone. It signals Kosovo’s rise as a new destination for Saudi business and investment". He added, "The most frequent question asked of me from both countries’ business communities was: Is there a direct flight between Saudi Arabia and Kosovo? It wasn’t until last year that both states signed the Agreement on Air Services. Today, as the two sides have concluded several basic agreements with a focus on business, I may say that through this work, both governments have paved the way for business communities to start exploring avenues of cooperation”.
Next up either Slovenia or Zagreb please!
ReplyDeleteyes please!! Split! we want Saudis here to spend their $$$.
DeleteThat's very few passengers
ReplyDeleteyou're aware that it's only have been the first flight?
DeleteYes and I don't think that 40% load factor on inaugural flight where there seems to have been many non revenue officials onboard is that great.
DeletePolitical flight without any commercial justification.
DeleteAnd Saudis are loaded
DeleteWhat is political about this flight
DeleteThen, you know nothing about politics.
DeleteI mean let’s be real, who’s flying from Saudi to Kosovo… never understood the point of this route in the first place
DeleteThere are multiple Boeing 777 carrying pax from PRN to JED during Hajj season, so maybe there is interest for some to go there for Umrah.
Delete@8:28 Your're right, quite some people going regularly for Umrah.
DeleteThousands of people monthly going from prishtina to saudi to perform umrah like 4000-7000 or more every month
DeleteYeah right, more are going to JED than to Berlin. Where did you get that stat from?
DeleteWow very low pax numbers , I do think even this is first flight there will be more pax then this , and the LF wll be 40 % , but Saudis have money they dont care if the planes are empty....
ReplyDeleteThis will end within a month. LCC with 40%LF is a huge failure
DeleteIt will finish for sure , there is no any profit for the airline in this casr flynas , but could sustain only as political deal which I think this is clearly nothing else then that
Deletepassenger expert's talking sh , how poor menthality they have
ReplyDeleteThe route is more intended for traveling for religious pilgrimage. So, I suppose the return flight had more pax.
Delete@7.46 lol then you know very little about Kosovo. Religion is not really important there
DeleteI live there. Religion is not really important, but there are believers who practice it and are the target market for this route.
DeleteSome beliebers pray 500k plus of them in kosova or 20-30 percent practise daily prayers
DeleteThousands going to umrah every month
U guys commenting nonscence
