Saudia has signed a contract with Collins Aerospace as part of its commitment to elevating the customer experience and advancing operational capabilities. Under the agreement, Collins Aerospace will install newly designed seats in Saudia’s upcoming Boeing 787 fleet, scheduled for delivery from early 2026 onwards.
Additionally, a comprehensive seat retrofit programme, with the aim to enhance both functionality and aesthetics, is planned for Saudia’s current Airbus A330 and Boeing 777 fleets, starting in late 2025 and concluding by late 2027. The Business Class cabin across Saudia’s wide-body fleet will all consist of private suites for an elevated and comfortable travel experience.
