       SINGAPORE, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's new
airline, Riyadh Air, plans to be operating commercially by the
end of the first half of 2025, chief operating officer Peter
Bellew said on Tuesday on the sidelines of the Singapore
Airshow.
    The airline, owned by the kingdom's sovereign wealth fund,
said in November it had concluded its narrowbody campaign and
was expected to announce the order soon, although no specific
timeframe has so far been given.
