Riyadh Air now flying daily to Mumbai - What do you think?

Started by TheTakeoffNerd 1 months ago 2 replies 75 views
So, Riyadh Air's been pretty busy! They've just started daily flights to Mumbai, making it their eighth destination in just two months since they kicked off in June '26. That's kinda fast, right? The first flight RX0697 just landed in Mumbai, using their Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. Those Dreamliners are pretty sweet rides, aren't they?

I think it's cool how quickly they're expanding their network. Seems like they're really trying to make their mark in the aviation world. But I'm curious if they're stretching themselves too thin with all these new routes so quickly? I mean, it's one thing to expand fast, but keeping up quality and service is another.

Also, with all these new routes, do you guys think Riyadh Air's gonna shake things up in the Middle East aviation scene? Or is this just another airline trying to catch up with the big players like Emirates and Qatar Airways?

Would love to know what you all think about Riyadh Air's strategy and if you think it's sustainable in the long run. Anyone planning to fly with them soon?
Expanding that fast is a bold move, for sure. I guess they're banking on the demand being there. Gotta admit, those 787-9 Dreamliners are a nice choice for comfort and fuel efficiency. But yeah, keeping up the service quality with so many new routes is gonna be a challenge. As for shaking up the Middle East scene, it'll be interesting to see if they can offer something unique compared to Emirates or Qatar. Anyone flown with them yet? How's the experience?
