The 24-seat Business Class cabin is designed as a premium and highly tactile environment, combining contrasting tones and refined detailing. Soft wall finishes and subtle pattern integrations derived from the Saudia branding language create a sophisticated yet contemporary atmosphere. Two dedicated front-row suites were developed to elevate the premium experience further, introducing companion travel functionality through a sofa-style buddy seat, an enlarged dining area, extended bed functionality and a larger 27-inch monitor.
The Economy Class cabin was designed to provide a calm and elevated passenger experience within a highly efficient 120-seat layout. Shared design elements across both classes — customised lighting features, carpet design and the continuous use of the Alula accent colour — create a cohesive cabin identity throughout the aircraft.
The Saudia A321XLR cabin is a highly customised cabin environment that reflects Saudia's future vision while delivering a distinct and premium passenger experience across all touchpoints: The entrance area houses an illuminated branding panel - a first touchpoint and key brand moment within the passenger journey. Its integration into a highly customised full-height monument, combines functional requirements with a strong visual identity and is the first of its kind onboard an A321XLR cabin.
The A321XLR cabin CMF (cabin colour, material and finish) is conceived around three core themes: contrast, evolving tones, and the signature colour ‘Alula’. The design focused on creating a holistic cabin environment while establishing a clear differentiation between classes by combining contrasting tones, refined detailing, and materials inspired by the natural textures of Saudi Arabia.
