Air India Express has just added new direct flights from Bengaluru to three Middle‑East destinations: Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait City. The Bengaluru‑to‑Jeddah route will start on October 26, while flights to Riyadh and Kuwait begin on October 27.
Travelers can book these new services on the airline’s website or mobile app, and over major booking sites. Starting fares are very attractive: Bengaluru‑Riyadh flights begin at ₹13,500 (about 505 SAR), Bengaluru‑Jeddah at ₹19,500 (around 570 SAR), and Bengaluru‑Kuwait at ₹13,600 (about 27 KWD).
These routes will help a wide range of passengers – from Indian expatriates to business professionals and families visiting friends and relatives – travel quickly to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Pilgrims heading to Jeddah for Umrah also gain convenient connectivity.
Airborne from Bengaluru, the airline will soon link other Indian cities, such as Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kannur, Kochi, Kozhikode, Mangaluru, Thiruvananthapuram, and Tiruchirappalli, to these Middle‑East hubs.
The launch comes as Bengaluru continues to grow as a key hub for Air India Express, which already flies to 35 domestic and 7 international destinations, including Kathmandu, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Dehradun, and soon Bangkok, Jodhpur, and Udaipur.
Operating a fleet of 115 modern aircraft – 75 Boeing 737s and 40 Airbus A320s – Air India Express flies more than 500 daily trips across India and abroad, connecting 43 domestic and 17 international markets. The new Middle‑East flights further strengthen Air India Express’s presence between South India and the Gulf region, boosting tourism and business travel while offering competitive fares to the growing demand for travel to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
