Jeddah is the biggest market in terms of demand from India. Medina is still 4<sup>th<\/sup> Largest market behind Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dammam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Delhi (DEL)\u2013Medina is the largest market from India. In 2023, approximately <strong>83,000 people <\/strong>flew between these two cities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mumbai (BOM) is the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> largest market. Mumbai (BOM) \u2013 Madinah saw approximately <strong>75,000 passengers<\/strong> in 2023.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hyderabad is the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> largest market from India. Hyderabad \u2013 Madinah sector had approximately<strong> 34,000 passengers<\/strong> in 2023.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the airline has decided to start flights to Madinah from Hyderabad instead, which was the third largest market. Its worth noting that Madinah is a heavily seasonal market. There is a huge demand for flights in the sector particularly during the Hajj season, with lots of Hajj pilgrims travelling to and from India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The route will cater to religious travel, as Madinah houses one of the major religious sites. Madinah attracts millions of Muslim pilgrims annually. With this new route, IndiGo intends to offer its travelers a convenient option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/xm18covr-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"IndiGo Airlines (6E) has announced the introduction of new direct flights between Hyderabad (HYD) to Madinah (MED)\" class=\"wp-image-68247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/xm18covr-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/xm18covr-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/xm18covr-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/xm18covr-50x28.webp 50w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/xm18covr-1600x900.webp 1600w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/xm18covr-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/xm18covr-150x84.webp 150w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/xm18covr-450x253.webp 450w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/xm18covr-1200x675.webp 1200w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/xm18covr.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: IndiGo LinkedIn Page<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-indigo-s-presence-and-expansion-in-saudi-arabia\"><strong>IndiGo\u2019s Presence and Expansion in Saudi Arabia<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, IndiGo launched only one new route to Saudi Arabia.
