Riyadh Air, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s innovative new airline, set to take flight later in 2025, has unveiled its cabin interiors, which blend luxury and comfort with a nod to Saudi heritage in its use of colour and materials.
Tony Douglas, Riyadh Air CEO, said: “Riyadh Air has always promised to deliver a world- class experience for our guests and the unveiling of our cabin interiors make this ambition a reality. 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.” Riyadh Air’s Boeing 787-9 fleet configuration will accommodate 290 guests in a four-class configuration from Business Elite, Business, Premium Economy to Economy. The cabins feature some of the largest touchscreens in the air all featuring 4K OLED technology, including 32” monitors in Business Elite, 22” in Business Class, 15.6” in Premium Economy, and 13.3” in Economy. As a digitally native airline, Riyadh Air loyalty members will enjoy Viasat’s seamless, free onboard streaming, social scrolling, web browsing, and gaming onboard, available from gate to gate (where permitted). Riyadh Air will collaborate with Devialet, the high-end French innovator redefining sound, to bring its signature acoustic technology into Business Elite and Business class headrests, delivering immersive, high-fidelity sound without the need for headphones. The carrier will also be the first airline to launch Panasonic Avionics’ fully integrated in-flight engagement (IFE) interactive design and publishing tool - Modular Interactive (MI), a full-featured interactive design tool, which offers a quick and easy way to respond to the latest guest trends and provide seasonal updates and promotions.
