Saudi Arabia's flynas, the low-cost airline in the world and the best LCC in the Middle East, signed on Tuesday an exclusive sponsorship agreement with Al-Hilal Al-Saudi Club Company to serve as the club’s official air carrier for four seasons, extending through the end of the 2027-2028 season.
The agreement aligns with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims for the sports sector to support both the economy and tourism.
The agreement was signed by flynas CEO Bander Almohanna and Al-Hilal Al-Saudi Club Company Chairman Fahad bin Saad bin Nafel, in the presence of flynas Chairman Ayed Al Jeaid and other senior executives from both sides.
Almohanna stated that flynas’ entry into the sports sector for the first time underscores its commitment to empowering the sports sector to support the economy and tourism.
This partnership will contribute to providing extensive services and products that meet the aspirations of their traveling guests, he added.
The partnership with Al-Hilal Club is consistent with flynas’ position as one of the top four low-cost airlines in the world and the best LCC in the Middle East, he added.
He emphasized Al-Hilal Club's remarkable track record of success locally and globally, aligning with flynas’ strategy for growth, expansion, and connecting the world to the Kingdom, particularly as Saudi Arabia has become a global destination for many sports, championships, and competitions.
Al-Hilal Chairman Fahad bin Saad bin Nafel expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, describing it as a significant step and one of the largest partnership deals recently concluded by the club.
The partnership embodies the integration between the economic and sports sectors, which will positively contribute to achieving the objectives of Vision 2030, he remarked.
flynas connects more than 70 domestic and international destinations with more than 1,500 weekly flights and has flown more than 80 million passengers since its launch in 2007.
It aims to reach 165 domestic and international destinations as part of its growth and expansion plan launched under the slogan “We connect the world to the Kingdom,” in line with the objectives of Vision 2030.
