Riyadh Air, the newly established international airline based in Saudi Arabia, has placed a firm order with Airbus for 25 A350-1000 aircraft. This agreement, which has the potential to expand to 50 A350-1000 jets, was formalized at the Paris Air Show, with the signing ceremony attended by H.E Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the Governor of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), Christian Scherer, CEO of Commercial Aircraft at Airbus, and Tony Douglas, CEO of Riyadh Air.
Riyadh Air will be the first airline in Saudi Arabia to operate the A350-1000. This initiative also aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goal of accommodating 300 million air passengers annually by the decade’s end, thereby establishing the nation as a prominent global aviation and tourism center.
