Riyadh Air (RX)<\/a> is Saudi Arabia’s newest full-service airline and one of the most ambitious aviation projects to emerge from the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 programme. Based in Riyadh, the airline is being built as a digitally focused global carrier, with plans to connect Saudi Arabia with more than 100 destinations around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For cabin crew, Riyadh Air offers the unusual opportunity to join an airline while it is still in its early stages of development. Crew members are expected to represent Saudi hospitality through the airline’s “Hafawa” service philosophy while maintaining the highest standards of safety and professionalism. The airline is also recruiting internationally, alongside programmes aimed at developing Saudi cabin crew talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salary figures for Riyadh Air are still less established than those of long-running Gulf carriers. However, current 2026 recruitment information indicates a competitive compensation package, guaranteed flying hours for eligible recruits, and full salary during initial training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riyadh Air Cabin Crew Salary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Riyadh Air cabin crew salaries<\/a> in 2026 are estimated at around SAR 10,000 to SAR 13,000 per month (USD 2,700 to USD 3,500 per month)<\/strong> when basic pay, flying pay, and allowances are taken together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newly recruited cabin crew can expect total monthly earnings of approximately SAR 10,000 to SAR 11,000 (USD 2,700 to USD 2,900)<\/strong>, while experienced crew may earn around SAR 11,500 to SAR 13,000 (USD 3,100 to USD 3,500)<\/strong> depending on flying hours, seniority and additional allowances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some publicly available estimates place the basic component at approximately SAR 5,500 per month<\/strong>, with flying pay and other allowances making up the remainder of the overall package. Because Riyadh Air is a new airline, exact salary scales are not yet as publicly established as those of Emirates, Qatar Airways<\/a> or Etihad Airways, so these figures should be regarded as realistic 2026 estimates rather than a formally published universal salary scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One particularly useful feature of the current recruitment package is a guaranteed 75 flight hours per month through the end of 2026 for the relevant cabin crew positions. This provides greater income predictability while the airline continues to expand its operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riyadh Air also provides benefits that can make the overall package considerably more valuable than the basic salary alone. Free furnished accommodation, transport, and family travel benefits have been reported as part of the cabin crew package, although exact benefits can depend on the applicable employment terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
