Flynas, a low-cost carrier in Saudi Arabia, recently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus to acquire 75 A320neo family aircraft and 15 A330-900. This significant partnership is set to boost the airline’s operational capacity, reach, and improve its fleet capabilities.
The agreement was signed at the Farnborough International Airshow in the presence of H.E. Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al-Duailej, President of the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) of Saudi Arabia, Ayed Al Jeaid, Chairman of the Board of NAS Holding, Bandar Almohanna, flynas Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, and Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Executive Officer, Commercial Aircraft.
The new A330-900 aircraft will be added to the carrier’s existing all Airbus fleet, which operates international, domestic, and regional routes. This aircraft will feature a two-class configuration and will have the capacity to accommodate up to 400 passengers.
The introduction of the A330-900 plane will aid flynas in achieving its ambitious expansion goals. By integrating the new widebody aircraft with its current A320neo fleet, the airline foresees substantial improvements in operational efficiency.
