A historic aviation moment! Riyadh Air’s first-ever arrival and departure at London Heathrow Airport on October 26, 2025, filmed in stunning quality. This inaugural flight marks the beginning of a new era for Saudi Arabia’s new national airline, operated by a brand-new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with a striking livery that turned heads among plane spotters across Heathrow this morning.
Riyadh Air is already the official sponsor of Atlético Madrid’s football kit, and many of us aviation and football fans are hoping they could become Chelsea FC’s next shirt sponsor, as the club has been without one since the start of the season. The airline plans to begin full passenger operations in 2026, expand its fleet with Boeing 787-9s and Airbus A350-1000s, and connect Riyadh to over 100 destinations by 2030.
In this video, you’ll also see an Air India Airbus landing, plus two beautiful A380s from Emirates and Etihad Airways while waiting for the historic Riyadh Air arrival.
