Air India signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Saudi Arabia's national carrier, Saudia, in July 2026 to strengthen their strategic partnership and expand codeshare connectivity between India and Saudi Arabia. The agreement includes plans to broaden existing codeshare arrangements, assess terminal co-location at selected airports, and explore cooperation between their frequent flyer programmes. The partnership may also extend to Air India Express and Saudi low-cost airline flyadeal. Since its re-acquisition by the Tata Group in 2022, Air India has significantly expanded its global network through numerous codeshare agreements and interline partnerships, enhancing international connectivity for passengers.
