Where Will Riyadh Air’s New Airbus A350s Fly?

Saudi Arabia is soon to become a rare example of a country with two flag carriers, as Saudi Arabia’s existing Saudia airline is to be joined by Riyadh Air, which is expected to conduct its first flights later in 2025. The appearance of a new flag carrier has pushed Saudia to revert to its old Saudi Arabia-themed livery, apparently in an effort to assert its position as the Kingdom’s original flag carrier.
