What they said
Lloyd Misquitta, Acting Chief Commercial Officer at Flyadeal, said: “We are delighted to officially launch our summer 2026 programme and welcome customers onboard our new services to Milan and Prague, alongside the return of some of our most popular seasonal destinations. The response to our summer network has been extremely encouraging, reflecting strong demand for destinations that offer a blend of culture, relaxation, and memorable travel experiences. Whether traveling with family or friends during the holiday season, our expanded summer schedule provides customers with even greater choice and convenience.”
Jiri Pos, Chairman of the Board at Prague Airport, added: “We are pleased to welcome Flyadeal as a new airline that will operate flights to our airport. The number of higher-spending travellers from Saudi Arabia to Prague has been steadily increasing and we expect that a total of 20,000 passengers will use the new route in both directions over the upcoming summer season.”
