Flyadeal begins flights from Jeddah to Sohag in Egypt

flyadeal has added the Egyptian port city of Sohag to its network with the launch of scheduled flights from Jeddah earlier today. (November 11).

Flight F3 777 arrived at Sohag International Airport to a water salute, an airline industry tradition to welcome a new aircraft or route, followed by an official ceremony hosted by the airport authority.

Eyad Jamalallail, flyadeal director of ground operations, represented the airline on the first flight.

Steven Greenway, flyadeal chief executive officer, said: “Today marks yet another significant milestone for flyadeal with our newest and lesser known destination of Sohag joining flyadeal’s ever-growing network.

“Egypt is by far flyadeal’s single biggest international market which we have served for almost three years from Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam and, later today, from Madinah.

“Egypt remains commercially and strategically important for flyadeal given the strong cultural and historic ties with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”
