Riyadh Air has placed an order for 60 A321neo aircraft.
This order adds to the airline's existing purchase last year of 39 787's, with the option for 33 more, allowing the airline to operate a mixed fleet of both narrow and widebody aircraft.
“This order will not only enable us to support economic growth in the aviation industry, it will also ensure Riyadh Air operates one of the most sustainable fleets in the industry and be instrumental in helping Saudi Arabia achieve its net-zero emissions goals,” said Tony Douglas, CEO of Riyadh Air.
Douglas added: “This deal strongly reinforces the positive economic impact of Saudi Arabia’s newest airline on both a global and local scale and helps facilitate the fast-growing local aviation ecosystem.”
This latest order now takes the airline’s total order of aircraft to 132.
