Riyadh Air Takes To The Skies Despite Regional Conflict
Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia’s new airline, has launched operations despite the challenges posed by the regional conflict. The day after a missile hit the airport where the airline’s offices are based, CEO Tony Douglas sought to reassure staff that the airline’s headquarters remained safe and open for business. The attack, which destroyed an aircraft and killed three people, including a pilot at its sister airline, has not deterred the airline from continuing its operations. The launch of Riyadh Air was reported by The Wall Street Journal.
