India’s upcoming Navi Mumbai and Jewar airports are set to transform regional air connectivity by launching direct international routes to key Gulf cities—including Jeddah, Dammam, and Riyadh. These new links, expected to begin by late 2025, aim to ease congestion at major metro hubs and enhance travel options for business, labor, and religious tourism.
Of particular note is the new Chennai–Riyadh route, which addresses a growing demand for direct access between southern India and Saudi Arabia, reinforcing Saudi’s rising importance in the region’s aviation landscape. These strategic connections further deepen India–Saudi Arabia relations and reflect Saudi’s growing presence as a key player in global aviation.
