Saudia and Air India Sign Codeshare Deal

Saudia, the national airline of Saudi Arabia, and Air India have teamed up to make traveling between India and Saudi Arabia easier.

Starting in February, passengers can book tickets that let them fly on both airlines with just one ticket.

This means you can travel from India to major cities in Saudi Arabia like Jeddah and Riyadh, and then connect to other cities like Dammam or Madinah without needing to buy separate tickets.

The deal also makes it easier to check your bags all the way to your final destination.

Both airlines hope this will make travel smoother and more convenient for people traveling for business, tourism, or other reasons.

Air India's CEO said this partnership is important because Saudi Arabia is a key market for them, and it will help connect the large Indian community in Saudi Arabia with more travel options.

Saudia's Director General also mentioned that this agreement will make it easier for people to visit Saudi Arabia, which has made getting visas simpler in recent years.
