Saudi Arabia and India have entered into a new agreement that will eventually allow direct flights between the two countries, starting on 1st January 2022. Under the agreement terms, Saudi Airlines will be making connections in Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dammam and Indian carriers in Mumbai, Delhi, and Chennai. The agreement extends the existing “Aero-India” air traffic agreement signed between the two countries in 2008. In addition to this expansion of air travel, both countries have also increased their commitments to the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) through their respective declarations of intent to ratify Kyoto Protocols.
