Riyadh Air on Sunday released the first images of its inaugural Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner in indigo livery, following the aircraft’s rollout from Boeing’s paint facility in Charleston, South Carolina. The bold indigo-and-lavender design draws inspiration from the colours of spring desert blooms and the art of Arabic calligraphy, complementing the airline’s signature pearlescent white livery.
One in every 10 aircraft in Riyadh Air’s fleet is expected to carry the indigo livery, establishing a distinctive visual identity as the carrier expands. The aircraft is due for delivery in the near future and will soon operate to one of the 15 international airports currently served by the airline.
“Seeing our first indigo aircraft emerge from the paint shop is a proud moment for Riyadh Air,” said CEO Tony Douglas, according to the airline’s website. “Inspired by the colours of spring desert blooms and the beauty of Arabic calligraphy, the indigo livery positions our brand with a striking presence that will stand out at airports across the world.”
Douglas added that, alongside the airline’s pearlescent livery, the new design reflects “a modern, confident Saudi identity, and marks another significant milestone as we have grown to 10 aircraft and 15 destinations in less than four months.”
