India has added 443,000 seats in CY2024, according to OAG, an aviation research agency.
Underlying the move is the growing importance of India in the kingdom's ambition to bring in 330 million passengers and connect 250 destinations. It expects 7.5 million Indian tourists and leisure travellers to hit the kingdom by the end of the decade. According to OAG, in 2024 there will be a capacity of 2.6 million seats from India to Saudi Arabia, a growth rate of more than 13 per cent over the previous calendar year.
With Egypt at 6.6 million seats and the United Arab Emirates at 6.2 million, India is at third spot in the pecking order.
With the tourism season starting in October, the tourism authority is on a B2C (business to consumer) marketing campaign, which, atop executive said, is the largest made by any tourism authority in India.
