Saudi Arabia is entering a new season, and the country is trying to build a connection to the world more than ever before. The launch of Riyadh Airlines, the country's new airline, is set to transform Saudi Arabia's tourism industry, with the airline set to fly by the end of 2025.
Riyadh Airlines is owned by the Kingdom's Public Investment Fund and was officially made public in March 2023 by Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. Since its unveiling ceremony, the airline has planned prominent partnerships with global brands such as Atletico Madrid and Delta Air Lines, as well as well as well as well as the cabin crew's bespoke designer uniforms. Once launched, the airline will play a key role in Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative.

The Riyadh Air fleet is set to include 60 state-of-the-art Airbus A321neo aircraft and 39 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. It also has the largest windows for any commercial aircraft, Euro News reports.
