One of the aircraft Boeing brought to the Paris Air Show 2023 was one of its 787-9 in the colors of a recent customer, Riyadh Air.
The aircraft, registered N8572C, was painted to promote the new airline start-up of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia — which won’t actually start its operations until 2025. Riyadh Air also had its own chalet at the event.

Riyadh Air has an order for 39 Boeing 787-9, with options for another 33. By 2030, it intends to serve over 100 destinations. Its executives also hinted, during the Paris Air Show, that the airline intends to sign an order for narrowbody aircraft in the near future.
