Summary
Riyadh Air introduced a new, more subtle livery design at the Dubai Airshow, symbolizing Saudi Arabia's future-focused vision. The airline, part of Saudi Arabia's economic diversification plans, aims to connect to over 100 destinations and significantly contribute to the country's GDP by 2030. This development follows a substantial order of Boeing 787 aircraft, highlighting Riyadh Air's potential impact on the aviation industry.
Saudi Arabia's latest national carrier Riyadh Air has shown off its second livery at Dubai Airshow. While its first livery was a striking all-over purple design, the second is more subtle, which, according to the airline "reflects purity and the future-focused vision of Saudi Arabia."
"This iconic second livery is the latest milestone for Riyadh Air as we shape and disrupt the future of air travel and aviation, with many more things to come,” said CEO Tony Douglas.
In March, Saudi Arabia unveiled plans for the establishment of a second national airline, while concurrently placing a preliminary order for as many as 72 Boeing 787 aircraft, as part of its broader economic diversification efforts, moving away from its traditional reliance on oil production.
Operating from Riyadh as its hub, the airline aims to connect to more than 100 destinations by the end of 2030. It also wants to create more than 200,000 jobs and add $20 billion to the Kingdom's GDP.
