    The Concept, of the Saudi Mangalore flight has been the dream of every Manglorean. So hats of to Jet Airways for this move. But only one Request to Jet Airways, Technically, Since Riyadh is the Capital of Saudi Arabia,the Flight Route should be Riyadh-Dammam-Mangalore.

    Good Idea. and Good Move bye Jet Airways. Why don't Jet Airways Start Flight from Kuwait to Mangalore and Bangalore Route. Air India Express Started to Mangalore from Kuwait. But Some Companies will not pay the ticket for this airline as it is Low Cost Carrier. So We need to still use Kuwait to Mumbai/Mangalore Route. please concerned Airlines Try to understand. and solve the problem.

    Dear Mr.Monu, I am very thankful to you for showing your interest on putting direct flights from Dammam to Mangalore. If this dream comes true, Saudi Mangloreans are the luckiest in gulf Region. Because,Dubai, Qatar & Bahrain Mangaloreans are already got this facilities long time back, but still they are suffering with lack of hospitality from Air India Express. If Jet Airways starts direct flights from Dammam to Mangalore we will get direct fight to Mangalore with excellent hospitality.

    Insha Allah... God help you people to achieve this on time. But please concider for Jeddah - Mangalore route also. Either we could propose like this to you as ... Jeddah - Baharain - Mangalore Dammam Peoples could come to bahrain for taking flight and the long route of Jeddah - Mangalore (6.5 Hours approximate) will have good fueling station in Baharain. Please think about this option too... any how all the best... Jai Hind

    Dear Mr.Monu Mathew thank you for considering this route to Saudi Arabia.It will be very convenient for the Dammam and neighbouring residents, what about Jeddah and surrounding areas? It will be greatly appreciated if you could think about Jeddah also. It will be more convenient for the Makkah & Madina visitors, as well as the Mangalorians staying in areas around Jeddah. Hope the flight will land soon in Jeddah too.
