Riyadh Air’s inaugural flight touched down at London’s Heathrow Airport on Sunday, marking the airline’s global debut.
“Today, our inaugural flight to London arrived, marking a new step in our journey to take off from Riyadh to the world and reach more than 100 destinations by 2030,” the airline said.
Riyadh Air launched its first flight Sunday morning as its Boeing 787 touched down in London. The aircraft, named Jamila – meaning beautiful in Arabic – is the airline’s technical spare aircraft.
For now, the daily flights are available only to Riyadh Air and the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) employees.
The airline will fly daily between Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh, and London’s Heathrow.
