Launching the world’s first digitally native airline

Together with FLYR, Riyadh Air is building its operations entirely on modern retailing technology—making it the first airline designed from day one to operate as a true digital native. With this foundation, FLYR and Riyadh Air are setting a new benchmark for what airlines can deliver when freed from the limitations of legacy systems.

Built on the FLYR Offer & Order Management System

Together with FLYR, Riyadh Air is building its operations entirely on modern retailing technology—making it the first airline designed from day one to operate as a true digital native. With this foundation, FLYR and Riyadh Air are setting a new benchmark for what airlines can deliver when freed from the limitations of legacy systems.

The FLYR Offer & Order Management System is the backbone of Riyadh Air’s modern retailing initiative. Built natively on IATA’s NDC and ONE Order standards, it’s the engine powering a seamless, modern traveler experience—all with zero reliance on legacy systems.

With FLYR’s Offer & Order Management System, Riyadh Air unlocks an entirely new way of retailing for the airline industry:

  • Dynamic, personalized offers: Leverage real-time data to generate tailored offers for each traveler, bundling flights, ancillaries, and third-party content based on context, preferences, and trip intent.
  • Mixed itineraries, one order: Support multiple travelers on different routes, cabins, or travel dates in a single order–providing flexibility that traditional PNRs can’t provide.
  • Third-party content, fully integrated: From trains to taxis to tours, Riyadh Air can bundle and price intermodal and third-party products in a single offer and fulfill them in a single order, driving both revenue and loyalty.
  • Channel-agnostic servicing: Orders can be accessed and serviced across any channel—online, call center, airline partners, or travel agents—without creating fragmentation.
  • Shopping cart: Travelers can build, manage, and save their trip over time—combining flights, ancillaries, and third-party products in a single, seamless flow.

A new airline built for modern retailing

As a new national carrier, Riyadh Air had a rare opportunity: design its commercial platform without legacy retailing constraints, while still operating at full-service network scale.

From the start, the goal was clear: operate like a modern retailer, not a ticketing system.
