Setting a new standard for aviation comfort and luxury in Saudi Arabia.
PIF-owned Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia’s new national airline set to take flight later this year, is revolutionizing aviation travel with the launch of its exceptional cabin interiors. The airline’s Boeing 787 fleet will feature a four-class configuration: Business Elite, Business, Premium Economy, and Economy—redefining luxury and comfort in the skies.
World-class cabin designs inspired by Saudi heritage
As a fresh airline with no legacy to inherit, Riyadh Air’s innovative cabin designs blend luxury, comfort, and cutting-edge technology to create a new standard for passengers. Drawing inspiration from Saudi heritage, the cabin interiors showcase elegant and modern design elements that evoke the warmth and sophistication of traditional Arabic tents.
“The design, layout, and features of our new cabins are carefully crafted to ensure flights are as comfortable and enjoyable as possible,” said Tony Douglas, CEO of Riyadh Air. “From the ergonomic and luxurious fabrics to the high-end technology in our entertainment systems, every detail has been chosen to deliver relaxing luxury and provide a stylish environment for our guests.”
Largest business class screens in aviation
Each cabin features 4K OLED technology, with 32” monitors in Business Elite—the largest in any business class—22” in Business Class, 15.6” in Premium Economy, and 13.3” in Economy. Business Elite seats convert into fully flat beds at 78 inches long, while Premium Economy offers privacy head wings, increased seat storage, calf rest, and versatile side tables, along with four USB-C charging points. Economy class passengers will enjoy six-way adjustable headrests and two USB-C charging ports.

The signature “canopy twist” design running throughout the cabins evokes the elegance and warmth of traditional Arabic tents, creating a distinctive and memorable ambiance for every guest.
In line with the Public Investment Fund’s mandate to unlock priority sectors and drive the diversification of the Saudi economy, Riyadh Air will support the country’s global competitiveness, boost tourism, and create new employment opportunities.
