Air India and Riyadh Air have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to create a strategic partnership that aims to enhance connectivity between India and Saudi Arabia, as well as to international destinations. This agreement will pave the way for interline and codeshare arrangements, allowing passengers to book travel across both airlines' networks seamlessly. The initiative is designed to meet the increasing demand for travel between the two countries, particularly for business and tourism purposes. Air India CEO Campbell Wilson noted the significance of this partnership in leveraging the strengths of both airlines to improve passenger experiences. Riyadh Air CEO Tony Douglas highlighted India's status as a key aviation market, indicating that this MoU is a vital step in Riyadh Air's strategy to connect Saudi Arabia with major global destinations. The partnership also includes exploring cooperation in loyalty programs, cargo services, and technological enhancements. As Riyadh Air gears up to commence operations with its inaugural route to London Heathrow, this collaboration is expected to provide Indian travelers with better access to the UK and Europe.
