Riyadh Air has reached a key milestone in the delivery of its first Boeing aircraft with the successful completion of the initial test flight (B1 Flight) of its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
The aircraft departed from Boeing’s manufacturing facility in Charleston, South Carolina, marking the start of an extensive series of test flights to be conducted in the United States as part of Boeing’s standard certification and quality assurance process.
