He also said “The commencement of this new route by Malindo Air to Jeddah is to enter the main gateway to the Saudi Arabian holy cities of Makkah and Madinah. This will create another affordable option for our Muslim guests to perform Umrah and Hajj.”

“Malindo Air is thrilled to add our first Middle Eastern destination to our network. We are very optimistic that the response would be very good for this route, and we already have plans to progressively increase our frequency from twice to four times weekly and daily flight during the month of Ramadan,” added Raja.
