Saudia has unveiled the first pictures of a specially painted Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner that is being redesigned to celebrate the upcoming Saudi National Day.
The selected Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, registered HZ-ARB, was pictured with deep green engine cowlings and a new snazzy tail design.
The Saudia Arabian flag carrier posted photos of the widebody jet over social media on September 10, 2024, as celebrations begin to build for Saudi National Day on September 23, 2024.
In a post on X Saudia wrote: “A special green preparation for Saudi National Day. Wait for us.”
In total the airline posted photos of the 787-9 Dreamliner as work to alter the aircraft’s livery nears completion.
On September 23, 1932, King Abdulaziz ibn Saud renamed the Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and in 1965 King Faisal bin Abdulaziz decided the day should be marked with national celebrations.
Every year Saudi National Day is commemorated with a public holiday and traditional festivities are held across the Kingdom.

Towards the end of 2023, Saudia launched a refreshed brand and aircraft livery which also included a new logo and cabin crew uniforms.
The new brand color identity, characterized by shades of green, blue, and sand, symbolizes Saudia’s ambitions to expand its fleet and destinations, thus fostering global connectivity with Saudi Arabia.
Saudia also added a redesigned tail, now adorned in green and featuring the new logo, with the word “Saudia” across the aircraft fuselage’s lower section.
