Crown Prince Salman started Riyadh Air, which will connect 100 destinations in the world

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has announced the launch of a new airline company. Its name is Riyadh Air. In a statement issued by the Saudi government, it has been said that by 2030, Riyadh Air will connect 100 cities on three continents.
The Saudi Arabian government is taking a number of steps under the Crown Prince's Vision 2030. The decision to start a new airline is also a step in this sequence. Prince Salman has said that now it is necessary to get out of the petro-economy soon.
According to the Saudi Arabian newspaper The National, Prince Salman decided two years ago that the country needed an airline company that could connect three continents. After this, it was decided to launch Riyadh Air. At present, the target has been set for 2030 only. According to this, 100 cities on three continents will be connected.
The preparation to connect Asia, Africa and Europe is also a part of Vision 2030. The Saudi government says that apart from transportation and trade, a focus on tourism is necessary. Riyadh will be used as a gateway.
Tony Douglas will be the Chief Executive Officer of Riyadh Air. Tony has 40 years of experience in the aviation sector and is considered one of the most capable CEOs in the sector. According to the report, national and international experts and staff will be appointed at Riyadh Air.
The company said in a statement – Riyadh Air will be a world-class airline. This is going to start a new era in the aviation sector. We will focus on safety standards. Passengers will be provided with world-class facilities. Every modern technology of the aviation sector in the world will be used here. Apart from this, the hospitality will also be of a high standard. New aircraft will be purchased and this work will be completed very soon.
Looking closely, the Vision 2030 of Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and Prime Minister Prince Salman focuses on the same thing. Along with modernizing Saudi, he wants to end dependence on oil first. Saudi is still considered an oil-dependent economy.
To end this thinking, Salman is opening tourism and trade as well as many other sectors for foreign investment. According to a report, Riyadh Air will make a profit of $ 20 billion every year. Apart from this, 2 lakh direct and indirect jobs will be created.
