It’s an exciting time for ambitious airline startup Riyadh Air. The airline has just taken delivery of its first factory fresh Boeing 787-9s, which will be used to launch regularly scheduled commercial service. The airline took delivery of three of these Dreamliners almost immediately, with several more coming soon, and they feature gorgeous interiors.
There’s now a major update — not only has the airline moved up the launch of its first flight that’s on sale to the public directly through its website (more on that odd caveat in a bit), but it has also put tickets on sale for its next five routes.
Since Riyadh Air wanted to make sure it launched regular operations as smoothly possible, it intentionally didn’t open these flights up to the public. Instead, they’ve been primarily for employees of the airline, employees of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), and their families. The airline called this its “Pathway to Perfect go-to-market plan.”
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
