Flynas, a low-cost airline based in Saudi Arabia, has secured an agreement to buy 160 Airbus aircraft, increasing its order total to 280 aircraft.

The airline stated in a statement that the “landmark agreement,” which was inked at the UK’s Farnborough International Airshow, comprises an order for 30 wide-body A330neo aircraft and 130 narrow-body A320 family aircraft.

Under the motto “We connect the world to the Kingdom,” flynas’ aggressive expansion is supported by the Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to modernize the aviation sector. Additionally, it solidifies the airline’s place among the top four low-cost carriers globally.

The agreement is also in line with the Kingdom’s aviation objectives, which include tripling the number of passengers carried annually to 330 million, increasing connectivity to over 250 destinations, and increasing the capacity of air freight to 4.5 million tons of cargo annually by 2030.

President of the General Authority of Civil Aviation Abdulaziz Al-Duailej remarked, “I congratulate flynas on this significant agreement, which reflects the rapid development and transformation of Saudi Arabia’s aviation sector under Vision 2030.”

He continued, calling flynas’ development and expansion “truly remarkable,” and said, “This deal is pivotal for achieving the National Civil Aviation Strategy’s goal to connect the Kingdom with over 250 international destinations and increase passenger traffic to 330 million annually by 2030.”
