Riyadh Air, a startup airline based in Saudi Arabia, has revealed the cabin configuration and seating arrangement for its long-haul Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. The airline plans to operate a three-cabin layout that includes business class, premium economy, and coach, with a total capacity of 290 passengers.
In addition to the standard configuration, Riyadh Air has unveiled plans for a limited number of extra-spacious business-class suites at the front of its planes. These suites are designed to bridge the gap between business class and first class, a trend seen in major international airlines.
The unveiling of the cabin and seating arrangements marks a significant step toward Riyadh Air's goal of launching operations later this year. The airline recently secured its operating license from Saudi regulators. It has placed firm orders or options for 72 Boeing Dreamliners and established partnerships with major airlines such as Delta Air Lines, Singapore Airlines, and Virgin Atlantic.
