In a major stride towards enhancing connectivity and convenience for travellers from the city of Hyderabad, Air India Express is set to introduce direct flights to three new destinations, both domestic and international. As reported by Wego, the destinations include the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh, as well as two domestic destinations – Varanasi and Trivandrum.
