Riyadh Air, backed by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, is in talks to work with Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific Airways to expand each other’s route network, after its multibillion-dollar order of 60 Airbus jets this week, said a senior executive.
The cooperation may “very possibly” include a code-sharing accord for the two carriers to fly passengers on each other’s aircraft to a wider network of destinations, Riyadh Air’s chief financial officer Adam Boukadida said in an interview with the Post on Wednesday. He emphasised that it was “too early” to specify details.
