Saudi Arabia–Pakistan has more airlines than ever. Alongside Saudia and PIA, the Pakistani private airlines Airblue, AirSial and Fly Jinnah and the Saudi low-cost airlines flynas and flyadeal now fly most big pairs, and Riyadh Air started Riyadh–Islamabad (daily) and Riyadh–Lahore (three a week) in August 2026. New in the last months: Fly Jinnah Karachi–Dammam (July) and Karachi–Riyadh (September, daily from October), flynas Dammam–Karachi (September), flyadeal Madinah–Karachi (September) and Airblue Multan–Riyadh (September).
We issue tickets on all of them on our own IATA accreditation, one-way or return, by WhatsApp. We have no office in Saudi Arabia; you deal with Muhammad Hasnain in Islamabad directly.

Terminals in Jeddah and Riyadh
Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz Airport is moving airlines in stages: Terminal 4 (the former South Terminal) opened on 27 September 2026, and Fly Jinnah moved there on 28 September (SalamAir too). flynas uses Terminal 1. For PIA, Airblue and AirSial no official terminal has been published since the move began, so check your e-ticket or the airline app the day before. Hajj charters use the separate Hajj Terminal; regular Umrah-season flights do not.
Riyadh’s King Khalid Airport reshuffled terminals on 25 February 2026: PIA uses Terminal 5, and flynas international flights stay at Terminal 1 (flynas domestic moved to Terminal 3). Other airlines have not published their Pakistan terminal, so check your e-ticket.

Zamzam water on the flight home
Zamzam goes only in checked baggage, in the sealed 5-litre container, never in the cabin.
- Saudia: one 5-litre Zamzam package (factory-sealed), checked separately, not inside a suitcase; free from Madinah, otherwise counted in your allowance.
- PIA: 5 litres of Zamzam is listed as a free item, subject to the operating airline’s rules.
- flynas: up to 5 litres, sealed; its Conditions of Carriage count it in your fare’s allowance.
- Qatar Airways: one approved 5-litre bottle, checked separately (not in the cabin or inside a bag).
- Gulf Air: one sealed 5-litre package free, in addition to your allowance, for Umrah or Hajj visa holders and GCC residents on Umrah.
- Kuwait Airways: one 5-litre piece from Saudi airports, counted in your allowance.
flyadeal, Airblue, AirSial and Fly Jinnah do not publish a Zamzam rule on their own sites; ask us before you fly.
Exit re-entry, family visits and work
- Going home on leave: exit re-entry visas are issued electronically through Absher; book your return within its validity. We issue one-way and return tickets.
- New job in Saudi Arabia: employment visa plus the Bureau of Emigration protector before you fly. The official protector fee is Rs 9,200 if you register directly with the Bureau of Emigration, or Rs 22,200 through a licensed promoter, the same for every Gulf country (BEOE fee schedule).
- Umrah while living in Saudi Arabia: book the permit in the Nusuk app; for Hajj, see Hajj 2027 for iqama holders.
2026: check your flight on the day
The Gulf airspace closures of 2026 hit Saudi–Pakistan less than other Gulf routes (PIA’s Saudi flights continued on longer routings in March), but Saudia’s site still says some destinations remain cancelled because of airspace closures. Check the airline app on the morning you fly; we rebook tickets we issued.
