Do you honestly think that Riyadh Air would choose STN over LGW or LHR as their initial choice of London airport?
I don't hence why I deliberately didnt mention them in the list of potential international airlines that could possibly be seen at STN within the next few years.
I'm not saying that Riyadh Air won't be at STN at some point but definitely not "within the next few years". More like 10 years as I'm certain that Riyadh Air will be operating to LGW and LHR for many years before STN would be considered.
Riyadh Air are to announce their initial destinations shortly with London being one of their first. It will be interesting what London airport they will announce but again I'm certain that it won't be STN.
Another possible international airline at STN that I had overlooked was MIAT Airlines from Ulaanbaatar.
