flynas Resumes Baghdad-Jeddah Flights on September 1st, in Partnership with the Saudi Air Connectivity Program

flynas, the Saudi air carrier and the leading low-cost airline in the Middle East and the world, has announced the resumption of operations to Baghdad, starting today, Friday the 1st of September, in collaboration with the Air Connectivity Program (ACP), to further expand flynas growing network of international destinations.

Three weekly direct flights will connect Baghdad to Jeddah on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, adding a new direct route between Iraq and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and further facilitating the travel between the two countries.
