Saudi budget airline flynas suspends long-haul services

flynas says it is suspending – not stopping – the routes for the time being and will have another look at the situation later.

flynas said it has suspended all long-haul flight services on its Global Flight Routes Program, including all flights to London Gatwick.

All passengers that have booked flights on these routes will be fully refunded or alternative flight arrangements on other airlines will be made on their behalf.

The company said that the load factors on the above routes have not met the company’s commercial expectations and that it will concentrate on enhancing its performance by focusing strongly on successful domestic and regional services.
