Riyadh Air: Saudi Arabia's New National Airline Celebrates First Anniversary with Strategic Partnerships and Global Recognition

Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia's new national airline, celebrated its first anniversary on March 12, 2023.
In commemoration, the airline announced strategic partnerships and agreements to strengthen its operations.

Riyadh Air aims to launch commercial flights by 2025 and connect Riyadh to over 100 destinations worldwide by 2030.

CEO Tony Douglas reflected on the year's achievements, expressing optimism for future successes.

At the Arab Air Transport Association (AACO) and Future Investment Initiative, Douglas shared Riyadh Air's goal to become the world's most digitally advanced airline.

Riyadh Air, a new Saudi Arabian airline, aims to revolutionize travel with a focus on sustainability, top-notch hospitality, and advanced comfort.

This initiative aligns with the National Strategy for Transport and Logistics and contributes to economic diversification.

The airline's entry is projected to generate $20 billion in non-oil GDP and create jobs.

Notable acquisitions include Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners and 90 GEnx engines.

Riyadh Air has been recognized globally with the RX symbol.

Strategic collaborations, such as the one with Saudi Airlines during the Dubai Air Show, are part of the airline's growth plan.

Riyadh Air has formed partnerships with several companies, including Lucid, a luxury electric vehicle manufacturer, for commercial, marketing, and operational collaborations for travelers.

Other industry giants such as Lufthansa Systems, IBM Consulting, Swiss-AS, CAE Group, Microsoft, Oracle, Accenture, and Adobe are also part of these partnerships, focusing on various areas like pilot training, consulting, and technology solutions.
