Airline Route Expansions

Riyadh Air Opened Ticket Sales on Its First Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners

Riyadh Air opened public ticket sales on six routes — London, Cairo, Dubai, Jeddah, Madrid and Manchester — following the arrival of its first three Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. The London service was moved up to June 10, 2026. The Saudi carrier's fleet will ultimately comprise 72 Dreamliners as it works toward a target of more than 100 destinations by 2030.

Each aircraft features a four-class cabin configuration, including Business Elite, Business, Premium Economy and Economy, with fully flat-bed layouts in the top two classes, Bluetooth audio connectivity at every seat and Panasonic Avionics' Astrova IFE system offering more than 500 movies and 600 TV series.

As Gulf carriers continue to expand their global footprints, Riyadh Air shows how new airlines are launching with a premium-first strategy from day one.
