Riyadh Air Secures US Department of Transportation Approval for Future Boeing 787 Flights
Saudi Arabia's new national airline, Riyadh Air, has officially received approval from the US Department of Transportation (DoT) to operate flights to the United States. This crucial permit allows the carrier to conduct scheduled and charter flights for passengers, cargo, and mail between the two countries. The approval is a significant milestone for the airline, which is slated to begin operations in mid-2025. Riyadh Air plans to utilize its fleet of Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners for these future transatlantic services. This move is a key step in the airline's ambitious strategy to connect Riyadh with over 100 destinations by 2030.
