Summary
Boeing has sold 78 of its 787 Dreamliner planes to two Saudi airlines, Saudia and Riyadh Air, in the latest large order for wide-body jets. The sale shows a pickup in demand for wide-body aircraft, which are used for long-distance flights and fetch a higher price than more-common narrow-body jets. Riyadh Air is owned by the country's sovereign wealth fund and will be helmed by Tony Douglas as CEO. The order will help Saudi Arabia connect to 100 destinations.
