Saudi Arabia’s emerging flag carrier, Riyadh Air, converted previous options to firm orders for 28 Boeing 787 Dreamliners at the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow.

This aggressive expansion matters to aspiring airline pilots because the common type rating between Dreamliner variants creates streamlined training pathways as the carrier hires flight crews to support its goal of reaching 100 destinations by 2030.
