Saudi Arabia-based low-cost airline Flynas is set to launch direct flights between Kochi and Riyadh from September 2, giving passengers another travel option between Kerala and Saudi Arabia.
The new Kochi-Riyadh service will operate three times a week on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays from Cochin International Airport. The flights will use Airbus A320 aircraft with a seating capacity of 174 passengers.
The flight from Kochi will depart at 8:50 am, while the return flight from Riyadh will reach Kochi at 8:05 am.
The addition of Flynas is expected to further improve Kochi’s international air connectivity, especially with Saudi Arabia. CIAL already has direct services to Saudi cities including Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam through airlines such as Air India Express, Akasa Air and Saudia.
The new Flynas service will provide more choice for passengers travelling between Kochi and Riyadh and further strengthen the airport’s connection with Saudi Arabia.
