IndiGo to connect Bengaluru with Jeddah from Sept 30

 

IndiGo will launch daily non-stop flights from Bengaluru to Jeddah starting September 30, 2024. This new service caters to a diverse range of travellers, including those on business, leisure, or religious trips.

The direct flights will strengthen economic ties between India and Saudi Arabia, offering seamless connectivity for businesses in both countries. Additionally, the route will be particularly beneficial for pilgrims travelling to Mecca, with Jeddah serving as a key gateway for Hajj and Umrah. This initiative aligns with India’s broader strategy to increase daily flights to the Middle East, promoting tourism, cultural exchange, and economic growth.

Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales, IndiGo, expressed excitement about the new route, stating, “We are thrilled to launch daily direct flights between Bengaluru and Jeddah, enhancing opportunities for cultural and business exchange. This new route will connect Jeddah to six destinations in India via 49 weekly flights, providing even more travel options. As India’s leading airline, IndiGo is committed to delivering a seamless, affordable, and hassle-free travel experience, and this new service reinforces our dedication to fostering global connections.”

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia’s second-largest city, is known for its Red Sea beaches, historic architecture, and vibrant cultural scene. Visitors can explore the old town of Al-Balad, shop in traditional souks or modern malls, and enjoy the local cuisine that combines traditional flavors with modern influences.

Bengaluru, India’s tech capital, is renowned for its technological innovation and dynamic cultural scene. The city offers green spaces like Cubbon Park and Lal Bagh, historical landmarks like Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace, and a thriving silk industry. The new flights will provide easier access to Bengaluru’s unique blend of tradition and modernity, making it an attractive destination for both tourists and business travellers.
