State aid for airlines - the story so far
30th March 2020
Riyadh Air has been awarded its operational certificate for its first advanced 787-9 RX7000 full flight simulator on January 27, 2025, as it moves towards launching operations later this year.
“This milestone underscores our commitment to world-class pilot training and operational excellence," said Riyadh Air . The advanced simulator will enhance our pilots' capabilities, aligning with Riyadh Air’s ambition to redefine aviation standards and deliver a next-level flying experience.”
The airline had recently pushed back its launch date from mid-2025 to the third quarter of the year after delays from Boeing as it awaits its first 787-9 aircraft.
