Saudi airlines add daily flights to Mumbai and Hyderabad

Saudi carrier Riyadh Air opened bookings for a new daily service between Riyadh and Mumbai, with the inaugural flight scheduled for 4 August 2026. The route will operate from King Khalid International Airport to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, with a flight time of about four hours.

Low‑cost carrier flyadeal launched its first Indian connection on 7 July 2026, introducing daily direct flights between Hyderabad’s GMR International Airport and Riyadh. The service uses Airbus A320 aircraft, with departures from Riyadh at 23:20 and arrivals in Hyderabad at 06:50, and a return flight leaving Hyderabad at 07:55.

Both routes expand air connectivity between India and Saudi Arabia, targeting business travelers, the expatriate community and leisure passengers, and reflect the growing demand for travel between the two nations.
