Nasair's  director of sales, Turki Al Jawini  said, "The Turkish air travel market is one of the largest in the region. To better service travellers between the two countries, we have introduced four direct flights between Jeddah and Istanbul each week, three weekly direct flights between Jeddah and Adana as well as twice weekly direct services between Antakya and Jeddah and Antakya and Riyadh."

The route will be served by Nasair's Embraer E190s aircraft.
