Saudi Arabian low-cost carrier flynas is celebrating the arrival of its 50th Airbus A320neo jets as it powers towards eventually receiving a total of 120 of the aircraft type.
The new arrival comes after flynas’ first Airbus A320neo was delivered on November 13, 2018, following an agreement with the European plane manufacturer in 2017.
Flynas held a special ceremony on April 2, 2024, to welcome the new aircraft which is part of the airline’s ambitious expansion plan under the title “We Connect the World to the Kingdom”.
This plan runs in parallel with the objectives of the National Civil Aviation Strategy to increase the number of international destinations linked to Saudi Arabia to 250.
