flydubai Announces Terminal Change for Riyadh Flights from February 25

If you’re flying between Dubai and Riyadh this week, double-check your terminal.

flydubai has announced that all its Riyadh flights will shift to Terminal 5 at King Khalid International Airport starting February 25.

That means no more Terminal 3 for this route.

What’s Changing

From February 25 onward, all flydubai flights operating between Dubai and Riyadh will depart from and arrive at Terminal 5 in Riyadh.

The final flights operating from Terminal 3 will be FZ 843 and FZ 844 on February 25.

So if you’ve got a booking around that date, it’s worth arriving a little earlier and heading to the correct terminal to avoid any last-minute airport sprints.

One of the World’s Busiest Routes

The Dubai–Riyadh route isn’t just popular — it’s globally busy.

In 2025, it ranked among the top 10 busiest flight routes in the world, coming in seventh with 4.465 million seats.

That’s a lot of weekly commuters, business travelers, and weekend flyers moving between the two cities.

What You Should Do

If you’re flying soon:

  • Check your booking details

  • Confirm the terminal before heading to the airport

  • Allow extra time, especially during peak hours

A quick terminal check now could save you serious stress later.
