Riyadh Air received its first two Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners on June 5.
The delivery marks a milestone for the PIF-backed startup ahead of its July 2026 commercial launch.
Boeing’s production and supply-chain challenges previously delayed the arrival of these aircraft.
These aircraft will anchor the carrier's long-haul network, with ticket sales already open for London Heathrow.
Riyadh Air holds a firm order for 39 Boeing 787-9s and options for 33 more.
The delivery signals progress for the airline and stabilizes Boeing’s schedule for key customers.
