flynas takes delivery of its first Airbus A320neo aircraft

Saudi Arabia's low-cost carrier Flynas has taken delivery of its first Airbus A320neo aircraft, the airline said in a statement.

The delivery of the aircraft is part of the carrier’s agreement with Airbus in 2017 to purchase 120 new A320neo aircraft with a total value of SAR 32 billion, the second largest aircraft purchase in the Middle East, the statement added.

“Over the next two years, flynas will be able to convert 50 percent of its aircraft to the new A320neo,” said Bander Al-Mohanna, Chief Executive Officer of flynas.
