flyadeal customers can now use their American Express Saudi Arabia Cards to purchase flight tickets following an agreement signed between the Kingdom’s leading low-cost airline and American Express Saudi Arabia.
Local and international American Express Cardmembers are able to pay on flyadeal’s mobile App and website www.flyadeal.com using their personal, business and corporate Cards. American Express has more than 140 million Cards in circulation globally and is accepted at 89 million locations worldwide.
Steven Greenway, flyadeal Chief Executive Officer, and Fahad bin Mubarak Al Guthami, Chief Executive Officer of American Express Saudi Arabia, signed the partnership agreement at the airline’s headquarters in Jeddah to mark the programme’s introduction.
Steven Greenway, flyadeal CEO, said: “flyadeal is all about providing our customers with choice and convenience. With the addition of American Express – a renowned and trusted global payments company – to our existing payment service providers, business, corporate and personal travellers have the benefit of using their American Express Cards on a wide choice of flights we operate within, and to and from, the Kingdom.”
Fahad Mubarak Al Guthami, CEO of American Express® Saudi Arabia, added: “We are delighted to sign this agreement with flyadeal. It is a significant milestone that will bring more payment options to our Cardmembers and is part of our ongoing efforts and strategies to grow the number of locations accepting American Express® Saudi Arabia cards for personal and corporate use.”
flyadeal currently flies from three main bases in the Kingdom – Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam – to almost 30 year-round and seasonal destinations across Saudi Arabia and selected Middle East, European and North African cities. From early 2025, flying options will increase significantly as the airline embarks on an international expansion drive.
