KOZHIKODE: Saudia, the national flag carrier of Saudi Arabia, has added Kozhikode to its scheduled international network, making its seventh destination in India.

Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kochi, Delhi, Hyderabad and Lucknow are already part of its India network, an airline statement said here on Monday.

Operations to Kozhikode will commence on February 1, with four weekly flights from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.

Bookings are now open through Saudia’s website and mobile application.

The airline said coordination is underway with airport authorities in Kozhikode to finalise operational arrangements ahead of the launch.

The addition of Kozhikode strengthens Saudia’s global network, which spans more than 100 destinations across four continents and caters to tourism, business travel, and the Hajj and Umrah seasons, the statement said.

Saudia currently operates 58 weekly flights between India and Saudi Arabia, connecting seven major cities in the country, it added.
