PIF-owned Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia’s new national airline set to take flight later this year, is elevating aviation travel with the announcement of its world-class cabin interiors. The airline’s Boeing 787 fleet will be equipped with a four-class configuration, including Business Elite, Business, Premium Economy and Economy.

As an airline with no legacy and the largest aviation industry start-up in a generation, Riyadh Air has unveiled its first cabin interiors. Blending luxury, comfort and the latest technology, its designs will establish a new standard throughout its Boeing 787 fleet. Reflecting Saudi heritage with its choice of colors, materials and designs, the cabins’ interiors will feature elegant and modern touches throughout the aircraft, from Economy through to Business Elite.

“The design, layout, and features of our new cabins are carefully crafted to ensure flights are as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. From the ergonomic and luxurious fabrics in the seats to the high-end technology used in the entertainment systems, every facet of the cabins has been chosen to deliver relaxing luxury and provide a stylish environment to our guests,” highlighted Tony Douglas, Riyadh Air CEO.

All cabins feature 4K OLED technology, including 32” monitors in Business Elite, the largest in any business class, 22” in Business Class, 15.6” in Premium Economy, and 13.3” in Economy. Business Elite features fully flat-bed layout using a bespoke seat with a length of 78 inches, while Premium Economy guests will enjoy privacy head wings, increased seat storage, versatile and expandable side table design, refined recliner lounge comfort with calf rest and four USB-C charging points. Economy will have six-way adjustable headrests and two USB-C charging points. The signature theme of all cabins is a distinctive canopy twist design that evokes the elegance of traditional Arabic tents.

In line with PIF’s mandate to unlock priority sectors and drive the diversification of the Saudi economy, Riyadh Air will support the country’s global competitiveness, promote the country’s tourism credentials, and create new jobs.
