Riyadh Air, a Public Investment Fund company, has announced the launch of five new destinations—Cairo, Dubai, Jeddah, Madrid, and Manchester—coinciding with the arrival of its first three Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft into its modern fleet.
The airline stated that the new routes are part of its broader expansion strategy aimed at enhancing air connectivity between Riyadh and key global economic, tourism, and cultural hubs. It added that additional destinations are expected to be introduced in the coming weeks as its network continues to grow.
The development marks another step in Riyadh Air’s operational progress, with the arrival of its third new aircraft in the Kingdom strengthening fleet readiness and supporting its ambition to connect Riyadh to more than 100 destinations worldwide by 2030.
Operational timelines include the launch of flights to Jeddah on June 14, followed by Dubai on June 18 and Cairo on June 25. Services to Madrid are set to begin on July 17, while flights to Manchester will commence on July 23.
Riyadh Air also confirmed an updated schedule for its inaugural London service, now moved forward from July 1 to June 10, 2026, following the early delivery of its aircraft. Ticket sales through official channels will begin later today.
The airline highlighted that its modern fleet features advanced cabin technologies and upgraded onboard services designed to deliver a premium passenger experience in line with international standards.
