Saudia, the national flag carrier of Saudi Arabia, has added Kozhikode in the Republic of India to its scheduled international network, becoming its seventh destination in India, alongside Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kochi, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Lucknow. This addition aligns with Saudia’s expansion strategy to reach new international destinations, connect the world to the Kingdom, optimize the utilization of its modern fleet, and strengthen its global competitiveness.
Operations to Kozhikode will commence on February 1, 2026, with four weekly flights from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. Bookings are now available via Saudia’s website and mobile app. Coordination is currently underway with airport authorities in Kozhikode to finalize all operational arrangements ahead of the launch.
The addition of Kozhikode strengthens Saudia’s global network, which includes more than 100 destinations across four continents, serving tourism, business travel, and the Hajj and Umrah seasons. Saudia currently operates over 550 domestic and international flights daily, reflecting the scale of its operations and its continued focus on expanding global connectivity.
