Saudi Arabian low-cost carrier flynas has welcomed it 53rd new Airbus A320neo after placing an order for 120 of the aircraft type in 2017.  

The latest Airbus A320neo landed at King Khalid International Airport (RUS) in Riyadh on July 17, 2024, from Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) after flying in from Tianjin, China.  

The first of 120 Airbus A320neos was delivered to flynas on November 13, 2018, as part of the Saudia Arabian National Civil Aviation Strategy, to connect the country with 250 international destinations and host 100 million tourists each year by 2030.

“The 53rd aircraft of the next-generation model touched down at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, reaching a total of 6 aircraft delivered until July 2024, which has contributed to consolidating flynas position as the leading low-cost airline in the Middle East, and one of the top 4 low-cost airlines in the world,” an airline spokesperson said in a statement. 

flynas operates an all-Airbus fleet and has ambitions to eventually increase the new aircraft orders to 250 jets. 

According to the airline, it currently flies a fleet of 64 aircraft and operates 1,500 flights a week to more than 70 destinations around the world.
