Riyadh Air has officially opened ticket sales for its inaugural service between Riyadh and London Heathrow, marking a major step in the airline’s expansion strategy. Starting July 1, 2026, the carrier will operate daily flights using its state-of-the-art Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft. Travelers can now secure their seats through the airline’s official app, website, or via authorized travel agents. Passengers looking for a premium experience can also enroll in the "Safeer" loyalty program, which grants them access to perks like the "Best Offer Guarantee" and complimentary high-speed in-flight internet.
The service, designated as flight RX401, is set to depart Riyadh in the early morning, arriving in London by mid-morning, with the return leg, RX402, departing shortly after. Beyond the convenience of the schedule, the airline is prioritizing passenger comfort, offering a high-end cabin experience and a robust entertainment system featuring a massive library of movies, series, and music from major global studios. CEO Tony Douglas highlighted the launch as a pivotal milestone for Saudi Vision 2030, emphasizing the airline's long-term goal of connecting the Kingdom to over 100 global destinations while establishing Riyadh as a premier international logistics and travel hub.
