Saudi's low-cost carrier Flynas helps promote Arabic coffee

Aircraft sports coffee-themed livery to celebrate the national drink

In collaboration with the Saudi Ministry of Culture, Flynas, Saudi Arabia's low-cost airline, has announced its participation in an initiative to celebrate the 'Year of Saudi Coffee 2022', by decorating its planes, boarding passes and passenger registration banners.

The design combines the identity and colours of the company with the stages of the growth of the local Khawlani coffee tree, from seed, tree and coffee fruit, to preparing coffee in the traditional “dallah”coffee pot and serving it in a Saudi cup.

The carrier’s A320neo aircraft were decorated with the celebratory livery in the French city of Toulouse, before their flights to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. 

The flight passed over Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Bosnia, Albania and Greece, in addition to Egypt, as part of Flynas’ efforts to enhance the position of Saudi coffee locally and internationally as a symbol of Saudi culture and authentic heritage.

The carrier’s boarding passes and passenger registration banners were also adorned with the same designs, and the company will be offering free Saudi coffee on board its aircraft to the guests in cups bearing the identity of the Year of Saudi Coffee until the end of 2022.
