Riyadh Air\u2019s third destination<\/p>\n

Riyadh Air flies to Dubai: <\/strong>Riyadh Air has officially rolled out its third destination with a once-daily service to Dubai in each direction on Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, the airline said in a press release<\/a>. The route was the seventh busiest international air corridor globally in 2025. <\/p>\n

Moving fast: <\/strong>The newly airborne carrier launched its first domestic flight<\/a> linking Riyadh and Jeddah last week, days after its first commercial international flight to London Heathrow<\/a>. Riyadh Air has also been cleared for using US airspace<\/a>, with the US Transportation Department granting it the right to run scheduled and charter service between the Kingdom and the US.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- <\/strong>Riyadh Air wants to integrate<\/a> one Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner into its fleet each month and launch two new destinations every two months, reaching 100 cities by 2030.<\/p>\n
