Saudi low-cost airline flynas has confirmed the purchase of 25 new Airbus aircraft, including five A330neo wide-body jets and 20 A321neo aircraft, as part of its ongoing expansion strategy.

The agreement brings flynas’ confirmed Airbus orders to 235 aircraft from a total orderbook of 280.

The airline’s A330neo commitments now stand at 20 aircraft, while A320 Family orders reach 215.

Bander Almohanna, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of flynas, said: "This step is aimed at ensuring the sustainable growth of the flynas fleet over the coming years to support the continued expansion of our six operating bases across the Kingdom, while also strengthening our operational and expansion capabilities for flynas Syria," noting that the increase in confirmed aircraft orders will enhance the carrier's ability to access new markets and further reinforce flynas' role as a key logistics partner in advancing Saudi Arabia's position as a global tourism and travel hub, while also supporting the objectives of the Pilgrim Experience Program by facilitating access to the Two Holy Mosques and contributing to increasing the aviation sector's overall capacity.

Almohanna added that increasing flynas' confirmed Airbus orders to 235 aircraft out of a total orderbook of 280 aircraft will further strengthen the airline's operational and expansion capabilities, enabling it to support the growth and transformation taking place across the Saudi economy, given the major tourism developments and global events that Saudi Arabia will host, including Expo 2030 and the FIFA World Cup 2034.
