Low-cost carrier flyadeal has opened bookings for a new nonstop route between Riyadh and Mumbai, with flights set to begin on 3 October 2026. The service marks the airline's second India destination launched from the Saudi capital.
The Mumbai route will operate five times weekly using the Airbus A320neo, configured with 186 economy seats. On operating days, flights are scheduled to depart Riyadh at 12:55 a.m. and arrive in Mumbai at 7:40 a.m., with the return leg leaving Mumbai at 8:40 a.m. and landing in Riyadh at 10:15 a.m.
The new link follows the airline's first India route, Riyadh–Hyderabad, which begins daily nonstop service on 1 July 2026. Together, the two routes broaden direct travel options between Saudi Arabia and India.
The Mumbai service has been positioned to connect passengers onward through Riyadh to other Saudi cities, including Jeddah, Madinah, and Dammam. This gives travelers from India additional access points across the Kingdom via a single hub.
The expansion is likely to interest India's large expatriate community in Riyadh, as well as business and leisure travelers seeking more affordable direct connections between the two countries.
