Jet Airways announced a new flight between Dammam and Mumbai, and a third daily flight between Mumbai and Dubai on Monday.
The addition of these two flights takes Jet's international flights count to 100.
Dammam-Mumbai flight is the fourth daily service from India to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, said the airline.
Jet currently operates daily flights from Mumbai to Riyadh and Jeddah, and from Thiruvananthapuram to Dammam.
Daily direct service
The airline also operates daily direct flights to the Emirate of Dubai from Chennai, Delhi and Hyderabad, which makes the additional flight from Mumbai to Dubai the sixth daily direct service on this sector.
Jet Airways' Gulf network now services over 10 destinations in the West Asian region.
The additional services from Mumbai will now add to the airline's existing daily Gulf operations to Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dubai, Doha, Kuwait, Muscat and Sharjah, as well as Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam from several cities in India.
Boeing 737-800 aircraft
The airline will deploy Boeing 737-800 aircraft on these two additional routes, in premiere and economy configurations.
