In a move to consolidate its network in the Middle East, Jet Airways has decided to introduce a daily direct service from Hyderabad to Dubai starting August 16.

The Indian carrier has started services to Saudi Arabia, with the introduction of its daily flight from Mumbai to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia's second largest city as well as a commercial hub.

The company is looking at rolling out services to Riyadh very soon.

The carrier is already functioning 17 frequencies to seven destinations in the Gulf, enatiling Kuwait, Bahrain, Muscat, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah and Dubai from several Indian cities.

At present, Jet Airways operates twice-daily services to Dubai from Mumbai, and daily services from Delhi and Chennai.
