en.Wedoany.com Reported - Riyadh Air has taken delivery of its first two Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, which landed at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on June 5, 2026, with a four-minute interval between their arrivals, forming a carefully coordinated landing sequence.

The aircraft, registered as HZ-RXAA and HZ-RXAB, feature a four-class cabin layout including Business Elite, Business, Premium Economy, and Economy. These two new planes were originally scheduled for delivery in 2025 but were delayed due to Boeing's production setbacks.

Riyadh Air was established in March 2023 by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The airline has opened flight bookings from Riyadh to London Heathrow Airport, with services commencing on July 1, 2026. Previously, since October 26, 2025, the airline operated daily flights to London using leased aircraft, but tickets were available only to employees and PIF staff.

Tony Douglas, CEO of Riyadh Air, stated that seeing the first custom-built 787 Dreamliners land in Riyadh is a historic moment and a significant day for Saudi Arabia's aviation industry.
