Riyadh Air has placed an additional order for 28 Boeing 787 aircraft. The announcement was made at the Farnborough Airshow, currently being held outside London, UK.
The airline exercised options from its 2023 order and changed the order for 20 of the aircraft to Boeing 787-10s. The remaining eight aircraft will be Boeing 787-9s. The Boeing 787-10 will offer approximately 50 more seats than the Boeing 787-9. Riyadh Air aims to improve operational efficiency by leveraging the aircraft’s commonality.
Chief Executive Officer Tony Douglas commented, “Since commencing full-scale operations recently, our customers have been extremely pleased with Riyadh Air’s service on our current fleet of six Boeing 787 aircraft. The introduction of the Boeing 787-10 will enhance our ability to meet growing passenger and cargo demand, while also providing the operational flexibility needed to support our ambitious network plans.”
Riyadh Air has currently taken delivery of six Boeing 787-9 aircraft and serves six cities. The airline aims to operate flights to more than 100 cities worldwide by 2030.
