IndiGo Expands Middle East Network with New Direct Flights Between Bengaluru and Riyadh from November 16, 2025

This expansion aims to cater to the rising demand for air travel driven by business, trade, workforce mobility, and tourism between India and the Gulf region

IndiGo, India’s preferred airline, has announced the launch of new direct flights between Bengaluru and Riyadh, starting November 16, 2025. Operated with Airbus A320 aircraft, this new route will provide affordable, seamless, and convenient connectivity between India’s technology hub and the capital of Saudi Arabia.

With this launch, Riyadh becomes the second city in Saudi Arabia, after Jeddah, to be directly connected to Bengaluru by IndiGo. The airline currently connects India with four key Saudi cities — Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, and Madinah — strengthening its growing footprint across the Middle East.

This expansion aims to cater to the rising demand for air travel driven by business, trade, workforce mobility, and tourism between India and the Gulf region.

Mr. Vinay Malhotra, Head of Sales, IndiGo, said: “As Saudi Arabia’s capital and a key hub for trade and investment, Riyadh is significant for IndiGo to strengthen air connectivity with India. This new route from Bengaluru marks IndiGo’s fourth non-stop connection to Riyadh, after Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. It will enhance accessibility for business and workforce from the region while reinforcing IndiGo’s growing network across Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. With this launch, we continue our focus on expanding international connectivity and making travel more convenient.”
