Boeing will also deliver a third Dreamliner aircraft to Saudia within the next week.
Saudia has ordered eight Boeing 787-9 aircraft in 2010.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner said:
“This delivery to Saudia is an outstanding moment in a partnership that has grown phenomenally over the last several decades.”
“Today, we are proud not only to have Saudia join our growing base of 787 customers in the Middle East, but also at the airline’s continued confidence in Boeing’s technology and airplanes over the years.”
Saudi Arabian Airlines Director-General Saleh bin Nasser Al-Jasser told:
“The delivery of our first Dreamliners marks yet another exciting chapter in Saudia’s long-standing relationship with Boeing that began in the early 1960s.”
“With its reputation for reliability, operational efficiency and comfort, we now look forward to the 787 becoming an integral addition to Saudia’s fleet as we continue our fleet modernization and expansion as part of our transformation plans.”
Boeing 787 Dreamliner is an all-new, super-efficient family of commercial airplanes that brings big-jet ranges and speed to the middle of the market.
Boeing designed the 787 family with superior efficiency, which allows airlines to profitably open new routes to fly people directly where they’d like to go in exceptional comfort.
Since entering service in 2011, Boeing 787 family is flying more than 350 routes and has established more than 75 new nonstop routes around the world.
787 Dreamliner received more than 1,000 orders from more than 60 customers – including Saudia – from around the world, making the 787 Dreamliner the fastest selling twin-aisle airplane in Boeing history.
Saudi Arabian Airlines will now have 48 Boeing airplanes in its fleet that currently include 777-200ER, 777-300ER and 747-400 airplanes.
Saudia has taken delivery of over 130 Boeing airplanes including 707, 737, MD-11F, DC-9 and MD90 over the last 55 years.
Saudia Saudi Arabian Airlines is a member of the SkyTeam airline alliance.
