Riyadh Air joins the global aviation ecosystem with unique airline code 'RX'
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 04 - 06 - 2023

class airline from Saudi Arabia, announced on Sunday it has obtained "RX" as an Airline Designator Code from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), joining the world's airline community.
This announcement was made during the airline's first public appearance since launch, with Tony Douglas, CEO and official delegation from Riyadh Air in attendance at the 79th IATA Annual General Meeting (AGM) and World Air Transport Summit held in Istanbul.
Riyadh Air's main hub and operations will be based in Riyadh, connecting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's capital to more than 100 destinations around the world by 2030. As a digitally-native, full-service carrier, Riyadh Air will pioneer new technologies and innovations whilst offering guests an authentic and warm Saudi hospitality style.
With its operations scheduled for early 2025, Riyadh Air has been established to support both Saudi Arabia's National Aviation Strategy and the wider National Transport and Logistics Strategy, which aspires to fulfil the Kingdom's Vision 2030 goals. As part of this, Riyadh Air will optimize the Kingdom's strategic location of connecting the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe, facilitate the growth and diversification of the Kingdom's economy and create more than 200,000 job opportunities directly and indirectly.
Tony Douglas, CEO of Riyadh Air, said: "It has been an absolute pleasure to be on the ground at the IATA AGM. The Riyadh Air team has been able to meet with industry stakeholders and experts to discuss safe, efficient and technologically advanced topics in the global air travel industry.
"We are delighted to announce that we have obtained "RX" as our IATA code, which will be on every touchpoint that our guests see as they take flight with us. The code reflects our ambition to be a digitally led airline, having the connection of innovation and state-of-the-art technology. Riyadh Air has made another strategic milestone towards its operations in 2025, and we are so excited for our guests to be able to travel to over 100 destinations with our code on their bag tags, booking documents and digital services."
IATA codes are considered an integral part of the travel industry and the commercial organisation of air transportation of passengers and cargo. They are essential for the identification of an airline, international bookings and in the work of ground service teams at airports.
Since the airline's launch in March 2023, the airline's careers web page has received job applications from over 300,000 applicants across 182 countries around the world.
