New Delhi (TAN): India-based budget airline SpiceJet will fly daily nonstop to Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah from Kozhikode in Kerala from April 20 this year.
The Saudi Arabian port city will be SpiceJet’s ninth international destination.
It is also the airline’s second nonstop flight to Jeddah after the announcement of the Hyderabad-Jeddah route.
“We are delighted to announce the launch of our new flight connecting Kozikhode with Jeddah right after announcing direct flight connecting the key pilgrim destination to Hyderabad. We are very sure that the new flight will benefit thousands travelling between the two cities for pilgrimage, business or leisure,” said SpiceJet’s Chief Sales and Revenue Officer Shilpa Bhatia.
