Starting on March 12, 2023, RIYADH AIR IS SAUDI ARABIA’S NEW NATIONAL AIRLINE.
Riyadh Air, a new national airline launched by Saudi Arabia to compete with regional transportation and travel hubs, makes use of the country’s location between Asia, Africa, and Europe.
The new airline’s operational hub will be in Riyadh, linking the Saudi capital to more than a hundred locations throughout the world. This ambitious project calls for the purchase of cutting-edge aircraft outfitted with the most recent technology as well as the adoption of top-notch sustainability and safety protocols.
