“This delivery to Saudia is an outstanding moment in a partnership that has grown phenomenally over the last several decades,” said Ray Conner, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “Today, we are proud not only to have Saudia join our growing base of 787 customers in the Middle East, but also at the airline’s continued confidence in Boeing’s technology and airplanes over the years.”

 

The airline also took delivery of its 20th 777-300ER at the ceremony, which was held at the Boeing factory in Everett, Washington.

 

Saudia ordered eight 787-9s in 2010.
