Riyadh Air received its first two Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners on 2026-06-05, with the aircraft arriving at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.
The delivery marks the airline’s first Dreamliners to date and a key step in its long-haul fleet buildout. The two aircraft were reported delivered on the same day by multiple aviation media outlets, confirming the milestone as a completed delivery event rather than a planned future action.
AeroMorning said Riyadh Air’s wider fleet plan could reach 72 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, although the delivery news itself was limited to the first two aircraft. The recent reports did not include any route launch, regulatory approval or entry-into-service date.
For Riyadh Air, the arrival of the first two 787-9s is the first visible fleet addition in a widebody programme centered on the Boeing 787 family.
