Saudi ​Arabia's new national carrier Riyadh Air is considering the ‌purchase of between 25 and 30 more Boeing 787 Dreamliners by exercising most of ​its contractual options with the US ​planemaker, a Reuters report said quoting industry sources.

The airline may also top up its ⁠Airbus order book, the report said.

Established in 2023 and fully owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), the premium full-service airline launched first commercial revenue flights last month. It has ordered up to 72 Boeing Dreamliners in 2023, including 39 definitive orders ​and options for a further 33.

An ​announcement that Riyadh Air is converting the bulk ‌of ⁠those options into outright purchases could come as early as next week's Farnborough Airshow, the sources said.

Riyadh Air and Boeing both declined to comment, said Reuters.

Riyadh ​Air also has 25 Airbus ​A350-1000 ⁠long-haul jets on order along with options for another 25. Industry sources say ⁠some ​of those may also ​be converted into firm orders. Airbus declined comment.
