After making headlines with its bold lavender-inspired livery, Riyadh Air – the upcoming full-service carrier based in Riyadh aiming to become a global airline – has unveiled its second livery. Let’s go over the details.
Riyadh Air has unveiled the second of its permanent dual-livery designs. Just like the first livery, the second livery continues Riyadh Air’s indigo theme with striking lines inspired by the twisting canopies of traditional Bedouin tents and elegant curves of Arabic calligraphy. The new look features a sweeping cockpit window design, with the indigo signature theme contrasted beautifully against a light unique iridescent fuselage that reflects purity and “the future focused vision of Saudi Arabia”.
As the largest start-up in commercial aviation in decades we are delighted to unveil to the world Riyadh Air’s second livery which will be unmistakable when it takes to the skies in 2025 as we become one of the first international carriers to have permanent dual-liveries on an active fleet.

The second livery will see Riyadh Air aircraft adorned in a lavender and indigo paint featuring a feather-like design near the rear of the fuselage, and ‘Riyadh Air’ written in English and Arabic and the airline’s trademark logo on the tail, engines, and aircraft underbelly.
Following our initial launch in March we have had exceptional progress hitting a number of major milestones for the brand through an obsessive eye for detail, digital-native mindset and commitment to embracing the industry’s sustainability best practices. We revealed our first livery reveal to global acclaim, announced fleet orders for our wide body aircraft and signed several ground-breaking new partnerships. This iconic second livery is the latest milestone for Riyadh Air as we shape and disrupt the future of air travel and aviation, with many more things to come.
Douglas added.
Riyadh Air has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with luxury Electric Vehicles manufacturer Lucid Group. The partnership is aligned with a shared vision for the future of sustainable transportation exploring the collaboration across co-marketing, commercial and operational streams for targeted guests and travellers.
Earlier this year, Riyadh Air placed an order for 72 Boeing B787-9 Dreamliners. It is also rumoured that the airline is looking to place an order for more than 150 Boeing B737MAX aircraft, although nothing has been confirmed yet.
Riyadh Air is targeting a 2025 launch with an aim to serve more than 100 destinations around the world by 2030.
