The airline aims to provide seamless connectivity and enhance travel options for passengers between these key destinations.
Initially, Akasa Air will operate daily flights between Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) and King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) in Jeddah.
