Riyadh: Riyadh Air launched its inaugural flight to Mumbai, marking its entry into the Indian market. Mumbai becomes the airline's eighth scheduled destination, just eight weeks after it began commercial operations on June 10.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the new route, linking two major commercial hubs, is expected to support the growing economic, tourism, and cultural ties between Saudi Arabia and India. Saudi Arabia is India's second-largest international market by scheduled seat capacity, with nearly 308,000 seats, accounting for 4% of all international flights to and from India.
