IndiGo, India’s preferred airline, has announced the launch of additional daily, non-stop flights between Mumbai and Jeddah, effective August 15, 2024. This strategic expansion caters to the growing demand for travel between India and the Middle East. The addition of these daily flights reflects IndiGo’s commitment to strengthening its international presence and connecting key destinations across its extensive network.
The Mumbai-Jeddah route connects two vibrant cultural and economic hubs. Jeddah, the gateway to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, welcomes travellers seeking both spiritual fulfilment and rich cultural experiences. Mumbai, renowned for its iconic landmarks, offers a taste of India’s diverse heritage. This increased connectivity provides unparalleled convenience and flexibility for travellers.
Mr. Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales, IndiGo, said, “We are pleased to announce additional daily flights connecting Mumbai and Jeddah. With these, we will now operate 42 weekly flights to Jeddah from 5 cities in India. These flights will not only enhance trade and tourism opportunities between India and the Middle East but also provide customers with even more options to travel to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As India’s leading airline, we remain steadfast in our commitment to deliver an affordable, punctual, courteous, and hassle-free travel experience across an unparalleled network.”
Jeddah, the second-largest city in Saudi Arabia, is a vibrant hub renowned for its stunning Red Sea coastline, historical architecture, and thriving cultural scene. Visitors can explore ancient souks, marvel at the iconic King Fahd’s Fountain, and immerse themselves in the rich heritage of Al-Balad, the city’s historical district. From bustling souks brimming with aromatic spices and intricate handicrafts to modern shopping malls and gourmet restaurants, Jeddah offers a captivating fusion of tradition and modernity.
Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is the financial capital of India and one of the most populous cities in the world. Located on the west coast of India, along the Arabian Sea, Mumbai is the heart of the Hindi film industry and a hub for commerce, fashion, and entertainment. The city’s skyline is a mix of colonial-era buildings, modern skyscrapers, and bustling streets that reflect its dynamic and diverse culture. As the economic powerhouse of the country, Mumbai attracts millions of migrants seeking opportunities, which contributes to its vibrant and cosmopolitan atmosphere.
