The Jeddah-based airline, a sister company of Saudia, said the route will be operated using Airbus A320neo aircraft configured with 186 economy-class seats.
flyadeal has been operating for more than eight years and currently runs services from Riyadh, Jeddah, Madinah and Dammam to multiple destinations.

flyadeal Acting CEO Sanjiv Kapoor said Hyderabad is the first step in the airline’s planned expansion in India and added that a second Indian destination will be announced soon.
“India is a key part of Saudia Group and flyadeal’s long-term strategy,” Kapoor said.
“Our promise of friendly, efficient, low-fare, and on-time service builds on parent Saudia Group's long-established presence in India since 1964 through our sister airline Saudia,” he added.
The airline currently operates a fleet of 46 Airbus A320 family aircraft.
