Low-cost Jeddah-based airline flyadeal, owned by Saudi Arabian Airlines, has taken delivery of a brand new Airbus A320neo, the first out of 30 scheduled to be delivered over the next three years.

The aircraft is the first of 65 A320neo family aircraft ordered by Saudi Arabian Airline at the Paris Airshow in 2019, and will join flyadeal’s all Airbus fleet.

Powered by CFM LEAP-1A engines, the A320neo offers flyadeal outstanding operational, economic and environmental performance. The aircraft is configured with 186 seats in a comfortable all economy class layout.

The A320neo is the ideal aircraft for flyadeal to grow and expand its domestic and regional network. Demonstrating the operational flexibility of the A320neo, the aircraft will allow the airline to efficiently enhance its operations to additional networks and foster closer links with countries across the region and beyond.

The A320neo Family incorporates the very latest technologies including new generation engines, Sharklets and aerodynamics, which together deliver 20% in fuel savings and CO₂ reduction compared to previous generation Airbus aircraft.

There are currently more than 7,400 orders from over 120 customers for the A32oneo.
