KUALA LUMPUR, 31 July 2026 – Dviation Technics is proud to announce its appointment as the line maintenance provider for Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia’s newest national airline, as the carrier launches its inaugural service to Kuala Lumpur, marking its first destination in the Southeast Asia region.

The inaugural flight, operated by a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner powered by GEnx engines, arrived in Kuala Lumpur on 31 July 2026 following the airline’s official launch of its three-times-weekly service between Riyadh (RUH) and Kuala Lumpur (KUL).

As the appointed line maintenance provider at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Dviation Technics will deliver comprehensive line maintenance support, ensuring the aircraft operates safely, reliably, and efficiently.

Riyadh Air represents one of the most significant new airline launches in recent years and forms a key pillar of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 strategy to transform the Kingdom into a global aviation hub. Backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), the airline aims to connect Riyadh to more than 100 destinations worldwide while setting new standards for guest experience and operational excellence.

Kevin Teoh, Group Managing Director of Dviation Group, said the partnership marks another important milestone in the company’s continued growth across the Southeast Asia region.

“We are honoured to support Riyadh Air as it launches operations into Kuala Lumpur—a pivotal milestone for both the airline and the region. Being selected to provide line maintenance support for one of the world’s most ambitious new full-service carriers underscores the strong confidence international airlines place in our technical capabilities, operational reliability, and uncompromised commitment to safety.”

He added:

“Riyadh Air’s entry into Malaysia significantly strengthens connectivity between Southeast Asia and the Middle East, and we are proud to ensure seamless, world-class operational support from day one. As Riyadh Air expands its global footprint, we look forward to building an enduring, high-value strategic partnership.”

The appointment further reinforces Dviation Technics’ position as one of the Southeast Asia region’s leading independent line maintenance providers. With approvals spanning multiple international aviation authorities, Dviation supports a broad portfolio of widebody aircraft, including the Airbus A330, Airbus A350, Boeing 747-400 Freighter, Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner, alongside next-generation narrowbody fleets. The company is trusted by a growing roster of international airlines, including established legacy carriers such as Korean Air, Qatar Airways, EVA Air, Oman Air, Garuda Indonesia, China Eastern Airlines, Uzbekistan Airways and Air Astana, reflecting Dviation’s proven technical capability, operational reliability and commitment to world-class maintenance standards.

As Riyadh Air embarks on its journey to redefine air travel, Dviation Technics is proud to be part of this exciting new chapter, providing the technical expertise that keeps the airline flying safely from its very first operations into Malaysia.
