Hot on the heels of its Warsaw-Oradea service, LOT Polish Airlines has added another new destination to its expanding network. The Polish carrier has started flights between Warsaw and Riyadh. The capital of Saudi Arabia becomes the fourth new destination that the airline has added in 2024, after Tashkent, Athens and Oradea.

The newly introduced route will be served by a Boeing 737 Max 8. The outbound flight, which will operate thrice a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, will depart Warsaw Chopin Airport at 15:20 and take 5 hours and 45 minutes to reach its destination. The return leg will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, leaving Riyadh at 01:25 (both times mentioned are local). The flight time will be 5 hours and 30 minutes.

Mexico’s state-owned carrier, Mexicana de Aviación, has placed a firm order for 20 single-aisle jets with Embraer. The order comprises an equal split between the 190-E2 and 195-E2 aircraft. While the former type will have a 108-seat layout, the latter will boast 132 seats. Both jets will have a single-class configuration. As far as deliveries are concerned, they will start in the second quarter of 2025.

Besides strengthening and modernising the fleet, the airline’s goal with this order is to boost efficiency and sustainability quotients. The Brazilian aircraft manufacturer claims the E2-type of jets will help reduce operational costs. In fact, Mexicana de Aviación will become the first carrier in Mexico to operate an Embraer E2 jet.

For many years, domestic Air India passengers flying out of Delhi could check in and drop their baggage at two Delhi Metro stations – New Delhi and Shivaji Stadium. This service has now been extended to international Air India passengers. The idea is simple – helping the passengers explore the city luggage-free.

The check-in and baggage drop service will be available at both the metro stations mentioned above between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. Check-in can be done between 12 and 2 hours before the departure time for domestic flights and between 4 and 2 hours for international flights.
