Saudi-based national airline, Flynas, is increasing capacity between KSA and the UAE with new flights connecting Abu Dhabi with Riyadh and Jeddah.
Flynas will add a second daily service between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, effective on June 23, increasing its combined offer with Etihad Airways to four daily services.
Additionally, Flynas will enter the Jeddah - Abu Dhabi market, effective the same day, with a daily flight which will complement Etihad Airways ' existing thrice daily services.
Etihad Airways senior vice president network, Gregory Kaldahl said: "The expanding of our codeshare with Flynas reflects our commitment to the key market of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
"The new Flynas services will offer business and leisure travellers’ greater choice and better flight connection in their travel to Riyadh, Jeddah and Abu Dhabi to Etihad Airways ' worldwide network."
The new flights from Flynas will be operated by a two-class Airbus A320 aircraft, offering an additional 3,416 seats per week.
This comes as part of an expanded codeshare agreement between the two airlines signed in October 2012, allowing Flynas to place its 'XY' code on multiple Etihad Airways' flights between Abu Dhabi and 20 destinations on its global network.
