Jeddah

AirAsia parent Capital A has identified Saudi Arabia as a “top priority market” for expansion, beginning with new routes from Kuala Lumpur to Riyadh and Dammam.

Eritrea will become the fifth African country to be served by LCC flynas.

The carrier’s flights on the route will be operated with a Boeing 737 aircraft.

The two carriers have agreed a codeshare deal less than four months after signing a Memorandum of Understanding to increase their cooperation.
