If you travel between India and Saudi Arabia, this is a practical update you\u2019ll want to know about. From February, flights between the two countries become easier to plan. Saudia and Air India are launching a codeshare agreement that allows passengers to use both airlines under one booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In simple terms, you can book a single trip that includes flights operated by both carriers<\/strong>, instead of arranging each leg separately. Also, with a codeshare booking, the full journey is treated as one trip. If a delay on the first flight causes you to miss the connection, the airlines handle the rebooking onto the next available flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the new agreement, Air India passengers can book Saudia domestic flights within KSA as part of the same ticket<\/strong> and reach cities like Dammam, Madinah, Taif, Abha, Gassim, and Gizan without making a separate booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It works the same way when flying from Saudi Arabia to India. Saudia passengers can continue onward to other Indian cities, including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kochi, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Lucknow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia has been adding more travel options in recent years, both by air and by land. One recent addition is the launch of Riyadh Air<\/a> in 2025<\/strong>, a new national airline with plans to operate around 100 routes. At the same time, a new high-speed train project<\/a><\/strong> has been announced that will cut travel time between Riyadh and Jeddah to four hours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More route announcements and travel updates are expected, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
