India's SpiceJet has introduced a daily non-stop flight to Mumbai-Jeddah-Mumbai sector.
The airline, which will deploy Boeing 737 NG aircraft, has introduced the six new flights effective 5th July.
Furthermore, SpiceJet has also announced a new flight connecting Guwahati to Bagdogra.
This move follows the airline's introduction of 19 new flights earlier this month between New Delhi and Mumbai.
The introduction of new flight routes, coincides with the grounding of Jet Airways last month – as the company looks to fill the void left by Jet.
Shilpa Bhatia chief sales and revenue officer SpiceJet, said: “Mumbai has always been one of our key destinations and with the launch of these new flights we intend to further ramp up our presence from the city. We are delighted to announce our new flight connecting Mumbai with Jeddah which will offer more convenience and flexibility to passengers travelling between the two cities for pilgrimage, business or leisure.”
“The new domestic flights will help in minimizing the passenger inconvenience caused due to the sudden shortage in capacity within the Indian aviation industry.
