By Doa Samir

Riyadh​ Airlines has announced ⁤the ​commencement of⁣ test flights as part of its efforts to obtain ⁤an air operator’s license. The first test flight⁢ is ‍scheduled to take off from Riyadh’s King Khalid International ‌Airport to Jeddah’s King ​Abdulaziz International Airport on⁢ Friday.

These ⁢test flights, which ‍may be operated ‍with⁢ or without passengers ‍on ​board, are a crucial ‌step‌ in meeting the requirements set ⁢by⁣ the General Civil Aviation Authority to obtain an Air Operator’s Certificate.‍ Over​ the coming months, Riyadh Airlines will conduct⁢ multiple test flights to various local and international destinations in preparation for its commercial launch in 2025.

The General Authority of Civil Aviation has expressed⁣ its appreciation for the support of its partners in the aviation⁤ sector, including Saudi Airlines, Riyadh Airport ‍Company, Aviation Engineering, and Sami Al Salam Aviation⁤ Industry. ​Their collaboration has been instrumental⁤ in ​supplying Riyadh Airlines with the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner⁣ for commercial⁤ use.

The General Authority‌ of Civil Aviation is continuing‌ its⁤ regulatory⁤ work on ‍the project to grant an⁤ “Air Operator License (AOC)” to ‍Riyadh Airlines.⁣ The fourth phase of the certification process will commence ​with test ‍flights ⁢aimed at ensuring compliance with executive regulations for ⁣aviation safety.
