flyadeal is expanding its international network again. The popular low-fare airline is part of the Saudia Group. Now, it has announced new flights to Mumbai. Starting 3 October 2026, the airline will fly non-stop between Riyadh and Mumbai. As a result, Mumbai becomes its second destination in India. Previously, flyadeal successfully entered the Indian market. Specifically, it started flights to Hyderabad on 3 July 2026.
Connecting Two Commercial Powerhouses
The new Riyadh-Mumbai route connects two major commercial capitals. Therefore, it will serve many different types of passengers. Mumbai is India’s financial hub and the home of Bollywood. Thus, it is a great destination for both business travellers and tourists.
In addition, the route offers vital links for the large Indian expat community. It also helps business professionals and tourists travelling to the Kingdom. Furthermore, the flight timings are very convenient. They offer easy connections through Riyadh to other Saudi cities. For example, passengers can easily reach Jeddah, Madinah, and Dammam. Ultimately, this helps business, leisure, and religious travellers plan their trips.
Flight Schedule and Aircraft Experience
flyadeal will operate this new route five times a week. Consequently, this adds over 7,400 seats each month between the two cities. The schedule is set up for maximum convenience. First, passengers arrive in Mumbai in the morning. Then, the return flight arrives in Riyadh mid-morning.
| Route | Frequency | Aircraft | Cabin Configuration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riyadh (RUH) to Mumbai (BOM) | 5x Weekly | Airbus A320neo | 186 Seats (All-Economy) |
| Mumbai (BOM) to Riyadh (RUH) | 5x Weekly | Airbus A320neo | 186 Seats (All-Economy) |
Passengers on this route will fly on the modern Airbus A320neo. The plane has an all-Economy Class setup. Moreover, it features the popular Airbus ‘Airspace’ cabin interior. Therefore, travellers can expect the following:
- Better Comfort: A well-designed cabin with soft lighting creates a warm mood.
- More Storage: Extra-large overhead bins give you plenty of space for bags.
- Easy Charging: Every seat has USB-A and USB-C ports. Thus, your devices stay charged during the flight.
Strategic Growth and Saudi Vision 2030
The new Mumbai route highlights flyadeal’s long-term goals. The airline clearly wants to build a strong network across India. As part of the Saudia Group, this growth perfectly matches Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. Furthermore, the airline strongly supports the growing aviation and tourism sectors. As a result, flyadeal is helping bring more visitors to the Kingdom.
Sanjiv Kapoor, acting CEO of flyadeal, explained why this expansion matters. He stated:
“India holds great importance in flyadeal’s international growth strategy and adding Mumbai as our second Indian destination is a key milestone that expands our presence in this vital market. Our new Riyadh–Mumbai boosts capacity and gives the many Indian expatriates, business travellers and a growing number of tourists more choice and greater convenience when flying to and from the Kingdom. With our industry-leading on-time performance and affordable fares that deliver great value, we are delighted to offer modern, reliable, and high-quality travel on what will be one of our most important international routes.”
