Riyadh Air’s B787-9 Dreamliner flew over its home city on June 12th. Highnesses, excellencies, and official dignitaries attended the momentous unveiling of the aircraft at King Khaled International Airport, which created a moment in history. The plane flew on low attitude over many important Riyadh skyline icons, including KAFD, Boulevard City, and the famous main towers, delighting locals with a sight of their new airline and inspiring pride at the arrival of the kingdom’s new national carrier.
Riyadh Air received “RX” as its IATA code at the 79th IATA Annual General Meeting (AGM). This code shows the objectives to offer cutting-edge, digital technologies. Tony Douglas CEO of Riyadh Air said, “We can’t wait for our guests to use our code on their bag tags, digital services, and booking documents to go to more than 100 destinations.”
Vice Minister of Tourism Princess Haifa bint Mohammed Al-Saud expressed her joy over the development and commended the airline’s rapid progress. She remarked, “Our ambition is reflected in the speed with which we were able to launch an aircraft.”
Saleh bin Nasser Al-Jasser Minister of Transport & Logistics said, “In the aviation industry, a new era has just begun. This is only the first of many steps to come.”
The warmth and generosity of the kingdom as well as the beautiful lavender hues that cover the desert in spring are the inspiration for Riyadh Air’s modern and forward-thinking theme, which is reflected in the airline. The carrier’s logo on the tail and engines, as well as the enormous, bold white letters reading “Riyadh Air” across the fuselage, are among the aircraft’s most appealing features. A plane’s logo representing the airline’s mission to serve as “Saudi Arabia’s window to the world.” The letter “R” in the window is intended to resemble a bird’s wing in flight. Moreover, their slogan for their global campaign is “The Future Takes Flight.”
