“After 16 months of operations and taking our eleventh aircraft we now offer a total of 70 daily flights across our network,» said Con Korfiatis, CEO of flyadeal. He added: «The growth we have accomplished in a short period of time is not only a fulfillment of our promise to provide our customers with additional everyday low fares between all the major cities in the Kingdom, but is also a reflection of the growing demand for domestic travel.»
