While Riyadh Air is currently evaluating options, no final decision has been reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The airline considers Boeing 737 Max and Airbus A320 Neo jets as potential choices. Further, Chief Executive Tony Douglas mentioned this during an interview with The National. At the 79th annual meeting of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) held on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Mr. Douglas, the Chief Executive of Riyadh Air, the airline\u2019s initial order placed in March, which consisted of 39 Boeing 787 wide-body aircraft with options for an additional 33, is just the beginning. Subsequently, the airline intends to place further orders this year, particularly focusing on narrow-body planes to cater to its short-haul flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Douglas stated that the airline is actively engaged in a narrow-body campaign. Further, it is working diligently to finalize the details to make an official announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new airline is wholly owned by Saudi Arabia\u2019s Public Investment Fund, a significant financial institution with around $620 billion in assets under management. Further, the fund actively supports strategic sectors that are central to the kingdom\u2019s economic diversification plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned with us.
