IndiGo Strengthens Middle East Network with New Bengaluru–Riyadh Direct Flights from November 16 

IndiGo has announced the launch of direct flights between Bengaluru and Riyadh, commencing on 16 November 2025. Operated by its Airbus A320 aircraft, the new route will offer travellers affordable and convenient connectivity between India’s technology hub and Saudi Arabia’s capital.

With Riyadh becoming the second Saudi city connected to Bengaluru after Jeddah, IndiGo now serves four key destinations in the Kingdom — Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, and Madinah — alongside an expanding network across the Middle East. The new service is set to meet growing demand from business travellers, tourists, and the Indian diaspora, further reinforcing IndiGo’s commitment to enhancing connectivity between India and the Gulf region.

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.”
