One of Saudi Arabia's newest airlines, flyadeal, has ordered 51 Airbus narrowbody aircraft as it sets to expand further. The deal consists of 39 A321neos and 12 A320neos.The low-cost airline's order was signed as part of its parent Saudia Group's record order for 105 A320neo aircraft.
""flyadeal has exciting plans with the new fleet, especially the A321neos which will give us the flexibility on high-demand routes and to slot-constrained airports by offering up to 240 seats that represent 30% more capacity than our current 186-seat A320s,"" said flyadeal CEO Steven Greenway.
The new fleet will support its growth plans to reach over 100 aircraft by 2030. Its current fleet comprises of 21 A320neo and 11 A320ceo variants operating from Saudi's Dammam, Jeddah, and Riyadh.
Deliveries are expected to begin in 2026. The airline is also receiving an aircraft delivery per month from an existing order until the end of 2025.
