Saudi Arabian low-cost carrier Flynas has entered a deal to purchase 60 A320neo family aircraft from Airbus.
Flynas has also converted an existing order for 20 A320ceo to A320neo, bringing the carrier’s total firm order to 80 A320neo aircraft.
Deliveries are expected to begin by next year and will run through 2026.
Owned by NAS Holding Group, Flynas currently operates an all-Airbus fleet of 26 A320ceo planes.
NAS Holding Group CEO Bander Al Mohanna said: “We have operated exceptionally well with our existing Airbus A320 fleet, which has allowed us to maintain high-performance standards in operations and passenger experience.
“We have an ambitious growth vision and the new A320neo order will further support our plans to be a leading low-cost carrier with the most advanced and efficient technology, and will allow us to strengthen our offerings within and outside of Saudi Arabia.”

Apart from providing various environmental performances, the aircraft family produces around 50% less noise than the previous generation aircraft.
Airbus has so far received more than 5,000 orders for A320neo family aircraft from 90 customers worldwide.
