Total arriving flights: 6,634
Year-over-year change: +36.84%
Flyadeal expanded arriving flights to 6,634 in August, a strong +36.84% year‑over‑year increase. The growth was supported by dense demand on Saudi domestic trunk routes and resilient leisure travel across nearby Gulf markets. Additional narrow‑body utilization and finely tuned schedule waves helped the airline deploy capacity where price‑sensitive demand is deepest.
On‑time arrival rate: 95.06%
Change in on‑time rate: +0.85 percentage points
Cancelled flights: 0
Year‑over‑year change (cancellations): -100.00%
The on‑time arrival rate reached 95.06%, an improvement of +0.85 percentage points, while cancellations dropped to 0 (-100.00% year‑over‑year). Performance benefited from predictable summer operating conditions and closer coordination with airport partners on turn times. The airline also emphasized preventative maintenance and crew rostering buffers to keep rotations stable during peak hours.
Jeddah (JED) anchors the western network with short‑haul connectivity across the Red Sea and the western provinces. Riyadh (RUH) supports business‑heavy flows and feeds leisure routes to key Gulf and North Africa points. Dammam (DMM) complements the structure by serving the Eastern Province and enabling one‑stop access across the network through tightly banked waves.
For travelers, the results point to reliable summer operations with punctuality near the mid‑90s and very low disruption risk. Booking earlier departures can further improve the likelihood of on‑time arrivals, and connection options via Jeddah or Riyadh remain convenient. Looking ahead, expect steady on‑time performance, selective frequency increases on core domestic routes, and incremental digital self‑service to speed airport journeys.
