Saudi Arabia’s flyadeal has launched direct flights between Riyadh and Mumbai, making the Indian city its second destination in the country after Hyderabad, within its first three months in the Indian market.
The inaugural service linked King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh with Mumbai as part of flyadeal’s international network expansion and growing presence in India, according to a post on the airline’s LinkedIn account.
King Khalid International Airport hosted a launch celebration attended by Fahad bin Sulaiman, Riyadh Airports’ executive vice president for commercial affairs; Hazar Hafez, head of marketing and customer experience; and the flyadeal team. The route provides a direct option between the Saudi capital and Mumbai amid demand for travel between Saudi Arabia and India.
Mumbai Airport also welcomed flyadeal for the first time as the Riyadh route joined its international network. Mumbai follows the launch of Hyderabad services, taking the airline’s Indian network to two cities.
