The giant aviation start-up Riyadh Air, owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), revealed the second of its permanent dual-livery designs at the Dubai Airshow 2023.
The new livery features indigo lines inspired by traditional Bedouin tents and Arabic calligraphy, along with a unique iridescent fuselage reflecting purity and Saudi Arabia’s future-focused vision.
Riyadh Air aims to rival Emirates and Qatar in size and to shape the future of air travel and has previously unveiled its first livery at the Paris Airshow. It has also secured a deal for 90 GEnx engines and ordered up to 72 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners.
As a catalyst for Saudi Arabia’s National Transport and Logistics Strategy, Riyadh Air plans to fly to over 100 destinations, contribute USD 20 billion to KSA non-oil GDP growth, and create over 200,000 new jobs globally and locally. The airline says it will set a new standard for reliability, comfort, and hospitality.
Meath born Peter Bellew has been appointed COO of Riyadh Air.
