An article caught my eye today about the new Riyadh Air:
www.traveller.com.au
The company has just recently formed, but they've already bought 39 787-9s and have options for another 33 more. They are bankrolled by PIF and have A LOT of cash. They are planning to start in 2025 and will serve more than 100 destinations by 2030. So ME3 will become ME4 very soon.

Saudi Arabia's new airline is about to change the world of air travel
The start-up fleet of 39 Boeing 787-9s will catapult Riyadh Air into the major league when it debuts.
