On Wednesday (July 22, 2026), Airbus announced that flynas, Saudi Arabia’s leading low-cost carrier, has agreed to acquire five additional A330-900 aircraft and 20 additional A321neo aircraft from Airbus. The latest order increases flynas’ total commitment for the A330neo to 20 aircraft and brings its total commitment for the A321neo to 56 aircraft. With these additions, flynas continues to expand its all-Airbus fleet, bringing its total firm commitment to Airbus aircraft to 235. Currently, flynas operates a fleet of 67 Airbus aircraft, including two A330-300s, four A320ceos and 61 A320neos.


In Wednesday’s announcement, flynas’ managing Director and CEO, Bander Almohanna, 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.”


Also commenting on flynas’ new order, Airbus’ EVP Sales – Commercial Aircraft, Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, said,


“This additional order from flynas highlights the continued appeal of Airbus’ latest-generation aircraft and reflects the strength of our partnership with one of the region’s fastest-growing airlines. The A321neo and A330neo deliver outstanding efficiency, performance and passenger comfort, enabling airlines to grow sustainably while expanding their networks. We are delighted to support the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as it continues its ambitious aviation growth journey.”


The A321neo is the largest member of Airbus’ best-selling A320neo Family, and offers segment-leading operating economics and extended range, enabling airlines to serve regional and medium-haul routes with greater flexibility. Compared with previous-generation aircraft, the A321neo delivers a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of at least 20 percent.


Powered by the latest-generation Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, the A330neo is designed to fly up to 8,100 nautical miles (15,000 km) non-stop and reduces fuel burn, CO2 emissions and operating cost by 25 percent compared to previous-generation competitor aircraft.
