To advertise the uniqueness of Neom City and attract tourism to the region, the aircraft will don signature Neom-Saudi livery.

Sharm El Sheikh Airport in Egypt was previously the closest commercial airport to the new Neom City.

Neom Bay Airport was built to cater to the $500 billion Neom project, which includes the smart city spread across 26,500 square kilometres.

It will be a residential, educational, entertainment and tourism hub at the 170-kilometer coastal strip in Northwestern Tabuk.

Neom is set to be powered completely by clean energy with zero carbon emissions, which means no cars and roads. But that also means no traffic jams or pollution.

Direct flights from Neom Bay to London are also in the works, for which the launch date is yet to be announced.
