flynas has agreed to acquire five additional A330-900 aircraft and 20 additional A321neo aircraft from Airbus. The agreement further strengthens the strategic partnership between Airbus and flynas and supports the airline’s continued expansion across domestic, regional and long-haul markets.

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.

flynas currently operates a fleet of 67 Airbus aircraft, comprising two A330-300s, four A320ceos and 61 A320neos. The airline continues to expand its network in response to growing demand for air travel in Saudi Arabia and beyond, supporting the Kingdom’s aviation growth ambitions.

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.

“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,” said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business. “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.”
