Riyadh Air lounge experience: Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia’s newest airline, is getting ready to launch later this year. The airline has now signed two important deals, one with Saudi Coffee Company and another with Milaf Global Food Company. These partnerships will bring Saudi coffee and premium date varieties to passengers, both on flights and inside the lounges.
The airline said these partnerships are not just about food and drink, but also about sharing Saudi culture with the world. Adam Boukaidia, the Chief Financial Officer of Riyadh Air, said that bringing together Riyadh Air, Saudi Coffee Company and Milaf shows the passion for excellence and the wish to showcase the best of Saudi Arabia. He also said that guests will get a true Saudi welcome when they are offered coffee and dates during their journey.

Coffee and Dates in the Sky
Under this agreement, Riyadh Air will serve coffee beans that come from farms in Jazan, Abha and Al Baha, areas well known for growing coffee at very high altitudes, usually above 1,000 metres. The dates chosen for the airline will be only the finest Ajwa, Sukari and Segai, with just five to seven percent of Milaf’s best harvest being used.
The airline will also offer a modern twist by serving Milaf’s cola that is made from dates. This makes the experience more unique while still keeping the long tradition of hafawa alive, the Saudi custom of welcoming guests with coffee and dates.
Cultural Travel
The leaders of both companies shared their excitement about this move. Bander Alqahtani, CEO of Milaf, said the partnership will help Milaf become a part of the modern Saudi travel experience and also give travelers a gateway from Saudi Arabia to the world. Khalid AbuTheeb, CEO of Saudi Coffee Company, said this step will make travel more special by serving Saudi coffee that not only tastes good but also represents cultural heritage and Saudi hospitality.
